What’s the WHY for supporting the Lexington Writer’s Room?
When you donate to the Lexington Writer’s Room, you’re supporting a group of active writers who are producing professional-level work. They take seriously their craft and the business side of writing. You're helping our members produce more books, short stories, essays, and poems and supporting their ability to ensure their works reach more readers.

Grant Funding
We're grateful for grant funding we receive from federal, state, and local sources. These dollars help support our operations and programs.
The Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agency, provided American Rescue Plan funds to the Lexington Writer’s Room with federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Funding has also been provided by the Kentucky Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities as part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed by this organization, do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities or Kentucky Humanities.
Lexington Writer's Room operating costs were funded in part by a grant from South Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.
