Thank you for considering donating to Press Pause.

Artists are (and always have been) some of the most financially overlooked blessings on this earth.

Every eight seconds someone just scraping by who creates beautiful things for the world considers giving up and becoming a mechanic or something else they aren’t, racking their haggard brain for ways to survive in a world that tends not to financially value them while still being able to find the time and energy to continue to produce art for that same world. The more we donate to our art communities, the more artists won’t want to become things they are not, the less tired-looking they will be, and the more time they will have to create the stuff that makes being alive manageable and sometimes even magical, for everyone.

Press Pause is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Donations are used for labor, manufacturing, printing, and shipping costs, travel to conferences such as AWP, and building out a physical retreat center presence at Flying Fox Farm in Jacksonville, North Carolina.

For more information, download our Why Donate to Press Pause information booklet.

We use Givebutter to accept and track our donations, which charges a 3% fee covered by us or you (donors choose). If you’re not feelin’ the fee, we will take it on! Or, if you’d like, you can donate directly through a bank transfer by filling out this form.

If you prefer to donate by check, please send a check payable to Press Pause Press. Include your email or a self-addressed envelope and we’ll send a receipt!
