“When you teach kids how to tell stories, they have a better chance at everything.” — Sherman Alexie

Deep provides every Young Author Scholarship at absolutely no cost to the kids, parents,or schools. Your gift can bring this award-winning program to talented young authors in your community.

Deep Patrons help kids write and publish their first stories. Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Botticelli all had patrons, and now with your help, deserving young people in Savannah can have patrons too. The cost to sponsor a Young Author Scholarship to Deep’s award-winning program is only $228 annually, but with the help of our Deep Patrons, we provide it at absolutely no cost to kids, parents, or schools. Deep’s Patrons make a monthly or annual recurring gift to support young writers at a time when they need it most—middle school. Become a Deep Patron by clicking on the button below. (You'll be prompted to select your gift and frequency. $19 a month—or $228 annually—sponsors a scholarship for one Deep youth.)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I become a Deep Patron?

Being a “Deep Patron” means making a recurring gift (either monthly or annually). Even a small recurring gift is very powerful and truly makes you a patron of the arts! Just $19/month (or $228/year) is all it costs for one year of programming for one child.

Do I have to do recurring monthly gifts? What if I just donate once?

Deep Patrons make a recurring online gift, but if you make a one-time donation, we appreciate that support, too, of course! Monthly or yearly gifts benefit both you and Deep; they’re easy and affordable for you, and they provide the Deep program with stable, regular income that helps us recruit our students earlier and plan our workshops more effectively.

Do you really need my help?

YES! We absolutely need your help! As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, we depend on the generosity of our community members to make this mission happen. You patronage means that one more student will get to tell his story. Being a Deep Patron doesn’t take a lot of money, but it does make a big difference in a young person’s life.

How do I cancel?

It’s easy! Just email writewithus@deepkids.com and we’ll cancel your subscription within a week. Or, click go to your confirmation email to click and manager your subscription, and just select “unsubscribe.” (But please don’t!)
