What does being a Friend mean?

Being a Friend of the Roadside Book Festival means that you care about the literary arts, and you want to be a part of the effort to support the Great Spirit Animal Sanctuary.

You understand the power literacy plays not just in helping individuals be more successful in life, but in helping communities engage issues well beyond the literary arts.

Being a Friend of Roadside Book Festival is providing a monthly donation to Anthology, Inc. to use for that purpose. You probably really like animals, too.

How is my support used?

The money is used to organize, promote, execute and grow the Roadside Book Festival. These fund support Anthology, Inc.'s effort to expand and engage more authors in the mission of protecting and rescuing animals..

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 Roadside Book Festival site each year during the month of the event, and those Friends of the longest tenure also get a shout out at events.

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.
