 The Room is supported
by quarterly membership fees and contributions from public and
private sources. Outside
sources provide more than half of the operating expenses of the
Room. The Room is
funded in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council and has received a grant from
the National Endowment for the Arts in support of its Emerging
Writers Initiative. The
Morris S. Smith Foundation, the Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation,
and the Max and Victoria Dreyfus Foundation have funded this project
as well. Donations to the Writers’ Room are tax-deductible.
