donations
rain shadow poetics lab is a volunteer-run registered nonprofit under the BC Societies Act; all monies received go directly back into the Cascadian poetry community: writers’ fees, venue rentals, travel and accommodation, etc.
in solidarity with arts practitioners, rain shadow poetics lab believes poets should be compensated for their work as members of an emergent Cascadian arts union; as such, we strive to ensure that the poets who grace our events are paid ‘at scale,’ in alignment with the writers’ union of canada – your donations help us continue this work
if you would like to donate a different amount to rain shadow poetics lab, please contact us at rainshdowpoeticslab@gmail.com
