Since COVID
Our method to receive donations was direct contact, since March of this year, we are having online gatherings, while the rest of our system has not been fully digitized. This has resulted in loss of donations.
We use donations to pay honorarium to our featured authors, poets,performers and a cross-genre open mic opener.
