The National Endowment for the Arts awarded The Telling Room a $20,000 Grants for Art Projects grant to help support the 2021-2022 Young Writers & Leaders program, our afterschool creative youth development program for high school students with international and multicultural backgrounds. 

The Amazon Literary Partnership awarded The Telling Room a $5,000 grant to help support our Anthology Project in 2021-2022—the theme for 2021-22 is: MYSTERY.
