In January, we put out a call to raise $20,000 to allow our non-profit to operate smoothly for the rest of the year, as uncertainty abounds within the arts and beyond. But it is a precarious time for everybody.
So it has been invigorating and hopeful to receive an influx of support from so many people willing to put their hard-earned bucks toward a print magazine.
At Geist, we strive to contribute to a healthy literary landscape in Canada by elevating writers and artists who forefront nuance, by publishing a particularly weird and wonderful mix of fiction, poetry, nonfiction, comix, reviews, photography, collage and little-known facts that you simply cannot find elsewhere. It’s slow, challenging work done with utmost intention. So thank you to all of our readers, subscribers and lit-lovers who gave us a serious boost this year.
From January 29 to March 31, we raised a total of $5,933. This is a huge success. Thank you!
The funds raised will go directly toward our printing, operational and circulation expenses.
Geist is grateful to the Museum of Vancouver, Vancouver Art Gallery, and the UBC School of Creative Writing for supporting our fundraiser.
