What does being a Friend of the Anthology Monday Poem mean?

Being a Friend of the Anthology Monday Poem means that you like poetry, and want to make sure that there will always be an organization that works to promote and expand its appreciation.

You understand the power literacy plays not just in helping individuals be more successful in life, but in helping communities be more successful in thriving.

Being a Friend of the Anthology Monthly Poem is providing a monthly donation to Anthology, Inc. to use for that purpose.

How is my support used?

A portion of the donation is used to make sure we have the means to provide the Monday Poem service ongoing. Another portion of the donation is used for the "thank you's" provided to the author of each Monday's selected poem. Each donor is added to the email list to receive each Monday Poem (obviously, on Mondays), and you are welcome to unsubscribe from that at your liesure. Your choice regarding receiving or not receiving email for the poem will not affect your donation.

Can my Friendship be anonymous?

Yes. Just select "anonymous" as the recognition option.

"I mean, I do like a little recognition…"

Of course… Our Friends that reach one year of friendship (and are OK being recognized) are listed on the Monday Poemfor that week (and each subsequent anniversary).

Is there a minimum length of time to my gift?

None at all. It is your gift to give, and we respect your choice to give for as long as you can. You can activate or deactivate your gift right here from Anthology.org.

If my Friendship Gift Tax deductible?

Your Friendship gift is a monthly donation to Anthology.org, and Federally recognized 501c3 organization and Arizona non-profit. Our Tax ID # is 86-1023292. So, while we qualify as an organization that one can give tax deductible donations to, we are a group of poets and writers, you may not want us doing you taxes or giving you direction. Check with your tax guy.
