$100 Covers one afternoon of hands-on homework help for dozens of students in 826michigan’s popular after-school tutoring program.
$500 Funds a two-hour workshop session on anything from writing comic books to college-entrance essays. Class sizes are small and each student receives individual attention on their work.

$10,000 Funds our annual signature book project in an under-resourced public school, including everything from training the volunteers to enter the classrooms to copyediting, designing, and printing a hardcover book of the students’ original writing, released to the public at the end of the school year.
