Where our Money Comes From

We’d love to get paid to put together this project but so far we have not. Feel free to help us change that! Below we note where we get money from.

  • Creative Writing Program, Washington University in St Louis: $1,000 for Fall ’19/Spring ’20

  • Book Donations from the following presses: Milkweed Editions; Dorothy, A Publishing Project; Wave Books; Coffee House Press; Feminist Press; Ugly Duckling Presse; Fence; Sundress Publications; Counterpoint Press / Catapult Press; Emily Books; Tin House; Noemi Press; Archipelago Books; Sarabande Books; Featherproof; Deep Vellum; and Knopf!

  • This year, we are asking all non-Black/non-Indigenous applicants to, if possible, contribute $10 toward application fees for Black and Indigenous writers.

where our money goes

  • Artists for use of their visuals, printing costs, postage (shipping book donations to all our participants is so far our largest expense).

  • 10% of our received funds goes toward reparations and land rent. If you want us to consider paying our 10% to you or your group, email us: MFAappreview@gmail.com

want to donate?

All banks are trash but if you’re trying to give us money you can Venmo us (@mfaappreview) and mention MFA App Review in the note.
