Fundraising Thermometer

It’s ONNNNNNNN. SpeakeasyDC’s End-of-2011 fundraising campaign and we’ve set our biggest goal ever.

$15,000 by Jan 6, 2012

The funds we raise in this campaign will help us continue to be a resource to our fans and aspiring storytellers through our high-quality storytelling events, performance opportunities, educational programs, recordings, and community activities.

Your donations will allow us to sustain our current programming of about 25 shows and 18 classes a year, including new programs like Story Showdown: A Storytelling Game Show, Bad Mommy Moments: A Storytelling PlayDate for Moms on Mother’s Day, SpeakeasyNation: A showcase of stories from around the country. We’d like to expand our education programs to offer more master classes with visiting artists, Intensive Coaching Circles, and specialty skill-building clinics. With your help, we can revitalize our podcast, start a blog with valuable information and conversations about the art of storytelling, perform in other cities, and and start making plans for a Storytelling Festival.

DONATE ONLINE TODAY or send a check to SpeakeasyDC at 2639 15th St, NW #101, Washington, DC 20009.
