 I'm on the board of Colorado Poets Center, and we're in fundraising season, with Colorado Gives Day coming up. [I'm hoping you can support the humanities in our state with a donation](https://www.coloradogives.org/donate/6d7hjf), or by spreading the word.

 $30 helps us add one new poet to the site. We now have 276 listed, adding 12-15 new poets each year.

 $50 helps us pay one poet to feature in our Tuesday night readings. 40 CPC poets were featured at the Boulder Bookstore or the R Gallery in 2023 & 2024.

 $50 helps us publish one electronic issue of the Colorado Poet newsletter.
 We've now published 10 quarterly issues, paying Kathy Winograd to interview 2 Colorado poets in each.
