Benefits of Your Contribution:

Naturally, we welcome contributions of any size, big and small. Beyond knowing you are helping to ensure a diverse and colorful literary landscape, you will also receive other benefits when you contribute. Unless you prefer to donate anonymously, we like to celebrate our donors by including your names in our catalog and on our Website. We will keep you up to date with all the latest Sarabande news, including our annual newsletter and notification of other special events and happenings. You will also receive special invitations to Sarabande readings and celebrations in your area. Donors who graciously give $100 or more will receive a Sarabande publication twice each year, one in the summer and another close to the holiday season
