#GiveAtHomeMN to support The Loft

It’s strange to think of the alternate universe for which we were planning a couple months ago. This weekend, you may have on your calendar to attend Wordplay, our festival celebrating books in downtown Minneapolis. 

Instead, the Loft was among the very first in the country to make the bold decision to pivot toward a completely free virtual festival rather than cancel.

Not just that, but we quickly moved all our classes online, pulled together free writing prompts and social media content to keep our writers and readers engaged, and are seeing jumps in class registrations as our community affirms that stories are essential, even in—and especially during—this global crisis. 

People like you bring countless bright stories into the world. Of singing on balconies and rooftops. Neighbors delivering meals. Nurses and doctors risking their lives. 

Your powerful stories have a home at the Loft. But, like so many important organizations, the Loft’s financial picture has shifted considerably. We call upon you now with our greatest need to date. Please, help preserve this haven for readers and writers by making a donation today.
