Your support helps us expand our efforts
and adapt to new challenges
For over50 years, Poetry Society of New Hampshire has been supporting poets and poetry.
We are a 501(c)(3) organization and your donation is tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.
Thank you for your continued generosity.
While we do not have any paid staff there are many costs involved in producing the programs and tools that exceed what we collect with membership dues. You can choose to apply your gift to a specific program or to help fund our general operating costs.

Website: Our new psnh.org website makes it possible for poets to collaborate and grow creatively and to reach a wider audience. It manages memberships, facilitates communication with members, promotes events, and announces opportunities.

Publication: The Poets’ Touchstone incurs costs for printing and mailing. Help us to produce a journal that reflects our standards of excellence in quality as well as content.

Events: While the pandemic continues to limit our ability to have in-person events, using ZOOM technology we have expanded our reach to poets and poetry enthusiasts beyond New Hampshire and even beyond the United States! Your support helps us to provide the highest caliber of featured poets and workshop facilitators as well as pay for the technology required for the online quality these guests deserve.

General Fund: Your support to cover our general operating costs is very much appreciated.

Walter E Butts Endowment Foundation: We are also authorized to collect ear-marked donations for the Walter E. Butts Endowment Fund, which provides modest financial support for New Hampshire Poet Laureate activities. This fund is managed by the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. Should you choose to help the endowment grow, tax-deductible donations can be made directly to NHCF or through PSNH.
