Help Support Lit City’s Vision

Your donation helps bring Lit City's vision to life. By contributing, you are investing in:

Dynamic Programming — Creating engaging events and workshops that celebrate Black authors, amplify underrepresented voices, and strengthen community bonds across the African diaspora.

Building Community Power — Funding the next phase of our work, from free workshops and wellness gatherings to author showcases and programs that bring literacy and storytelling into underserved and incarcerated communities.

We also welcome donations of new and gently used books by Black authors to support our programming and community book giveaways. Books should align with our mission to celebrate diverse voices, especially authors of the African diaspora.

Every contribution, financial or literary, makes a difference. Whether it is $5, $500, or a book donation, your support helps us:

Expand access to culturally rich resources

Support Black-owned businesses and creatives

Foster spaces where stories inspire action and connections flourish

Join us in building a community hub that uplifts, connects, and inspires.
