Support Black Writers During This Year's Giving Tuesday Campaign

Support Black Writers During This Year's Giving Tuesday Campaign

On August 22, 1990, the Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Foundation was incorporated in Washington, D.C. with early supporters including Henry Louis Gates, Terry McMillan, Gloria Naylor, John Edgar Wideman, Nikki Giovanni, Maya Angelou, John Grisham and Toni Morrison.

We are honored to have had (and to continue to garner) the financial blessings from all walks of writers and readers who find value in our mission-driven work.
