As we celebrate Spotlight Poetry’s 5-Year Anniversary, we are asking our community to help us continue this work by raising $5,000 to support the remainder of our 2026 programming season!

 

The funds raised through this campaign will directly support:

 

• Our award-winning slam team as they finish out their national slam season and continue representing Las Vegas on competitive poetry stages across the country.

• Free community poetry showcases that provide accessible artistic spaces for audiences and performers alike.

• Educational resources, workshops, mentorship opportunities, and literary programming that nurture both emerging and established writers in our community.

​

Your donation is not just supporting an organization. It is investing in poets finding their voices for the first time. It is helping young writers feel seen. It is ensuring that accessible, creative spaces continue to exist in Las Vegas. It is helping us build a future where poetry remains a powerful tool for storytelling, healing, education, and community connection.

 

Over the last five years, we have watched poetry change lives, including our own. With your support, we can continue creating opportunities, amplifying voices, and expanding the reach of literary arts for years to come.
