Midwest Writing Center Membership/Sources of Support

Are You Thinking of Making a Gift?

In addition to our annual memberships (levels of giving follow this form), we are happy to receive memorials recognizing the lives of people important to you or special events in your life. The MWC Board voted that all memorial contributions will be transferred to our endowment fund.

We have also been remembered in estate plans including wills, annuities and insurance policies. If you are interested in supporting our mission for years to come in your estate planning, please contact us.

If we are to continue to serve the writers and readers in our area, your support is essential. It is always best to confirm the deductibility of your contributions with your tax advisor. The Midwest Writing Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
