HOW TO BECOME A FOUNDING MEMBER OF MUSEHOUSE

In this, our inaugural year, your financial help can make a critical difference. Through grants, donations and earned income from our workshops, we hope to provide the Chestnut Hill, Mt. Airy and Germantown Community with a rich resource for writers for many years to come. We’re proud that every one of our special events in the fall is free and open to the public and we hope to continue to do.

This year, every donated dollar we receive (up to $50,000) will be matched by the Knight Foundation, so, in essence your generosity will be doubled. Our goal is to find 500 founding members who will each contribute $100 or $250 or $500 or $1000 or more! Not only would this sustain us financially, it would convey a powerful message of confidence in the Musehouse vision that the writers in northwest Philadelphia deserve a dedicated space where they can work and grow together.

Founding Members will receive:

• Two tickets to the Member’s Only Reception (a lovely evening of music, appetizers, wine and special favors, AND

• An autographed copy of a book by the featured reader at the Members Only Reception.

• ADDITIONALLY! The first one-hundred founding members will be invited to choose a name or book title to be incorporated into a one-of-a– kind painting entitled “Musehouse Bookcase” by renowned artist Susan Schary. This painting will be on permanent display in the Musehouse.

All donations are tax-deductible and should be made payable to our fiscal sponsor “The MIAMI FOUNDATION” with the word Musehouse noted on the subject line. We are currently in the process of attaining 501 C3 status.
