Bring Roots&Voice to Your Community

Why We Do This

• We bring together the literary arts, performance, and community.
• We create inclusive spaces for reading, dialogue, and creative expression.
• We celebrate the voices and experiences of women and people whose stories have too often been overlooked.
• We support books, theater, and programs that explore story, identity, ritual, justice, and belonging.
• We encourage intergenerational connection through the power of story.

For Group Leaders

If you lead a library, congregation, school, theater, arts organization, community group, university, elder community, women’s group, or nonprofit, we invite you to bring a Roots&Voice reading, ritual, performance, workshop, or discussion to your group. We can help shape an experience that fits your community, your space, and the conversation you hope to begin.

• Libraries
• schools and universities
• congregations and spiritual communities
• museums and arts organizations
• women’s groups
• book clubs and reading circles
• elder and intergenerational programs
• nonprofit and neighborhood groups

Roots&Voice Seed Fund

Helping Communities Bring the Work to Life

The Roots&Voice Seed Fund helps early community, educational, nonprofit, spiritual, and arts partners bring a reading, ritual, performance, or Gathering to life. We want the work to travel—and we want to learn from the conversations and connections it creates when it enters a new room.

Support may include

• waiving or reducing licensing or performance fees
• a modest contribution toward program or production expenses when possible
• scripts or program materials
• artistic, dramaturgical, organizational, or promotional support
