Announcing an Important Transition
Poetry X Hunger has recently become a component fund of Chesapeake Charities which is designated by the IRS as a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization. (Non Profit Tax ID #30-0254793).
What does this transition mean? Among other things, it means that Poetry X Hunger is now able to accept donations to support poetry's role in fighting hunger. Donations may be made here. Donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Please check with your financial representative.
