The Greater Worcester Community Foundation manages six endowment funds on behalf of the WCPA that provides annual support for WCPA programs such as the Gregory Stockmal Reading, the Stanley Kunitz Medal, and our print journal, The Worcester Review. We also receive operating support through our Founders’ Fund.

We continue to raise money for the recently created College Poetry Contest Fund to support the annual Elizabeth Bishop Manuscript prize and the Etheridge Knight Performance prize for college students. We need to raise an additional $1,500 by June this year to establish the endowment fully.

Please consider a donation of any size to support the College Contest Fund if you are able. Mail checks to the WCPA office (PO Box 804, Worcester, MA 01613) or directly to the Greater Worcester Community Foundation (370 Main Street, Suite 650, Worcester, MA 01608-1738). Please note the College Contest Fund on the memo line of your check.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.
