Ways to support the Roethke Home Foundation

 

Donations

Please join us as we work to preserve the historical site of Roethke’s childhood homes, to continue our outreach to Saginaw and the surrounding communities, and to provide virtual literary and arts programming throughout the year. By becoming a new member or renewing your existing membership of Friends of Theodore Roethke, you provide invaluable funds that preserve not only the histories of the Theodore Roethke Home Museum and Stone House, but the spirit of poetry in this region and beyond.

Your donations help support a wide variety of Foundation initiatives, including:

  • Renovation and restoration of the two houses;

  • expansion of our collection of original furnishings and artifacts;

  • original educational programs;

  • community events that highlight local writers;

  • online events that let our local FOTR members interact with nationally known poets;

  • landscaping and gardening maintenance true to the original Roethke landscape;

  • as well as helping to cover operational expenses.

All donations are tax deductible under 501(c)(3) status.
