		The Creative Writing Program depends on gifts from donors to enhance our academic offerings for graduate and undergraduate students. If you would like to make a gift to the department, please mail a check payable to the University of Oregon Foundation with a note indicating the gift is for the Creative Writing Program to: University of Oregon Foundation P.O. Box 3346 Eugene, OR 97403-0346 Pledges of support are also accepted through the UO Foundation's secure online pledge form. More options for giving are listed on the UO College of Arts & Sciences web site. Our Current Needs for Gifts The Creative Writing Program use donations from contributors to support a variety of academic projects, including the following: • The Creative Writing Program Literary Reading Series • The Kidd Tutorial (supports a yearlong creative writing, critical reading, and literary research program for undergraduates) • Kidd Scholarships (awarded to outstanding undergraduate students in the Kidd Tutorials) • Kidd Memorial Writing Competition (honors outstanding undergraduate poets and fiction writers) • The Miriam Starlin Award in Poetry (for a promising female graduate student of poetry) • The Rich Logsdon Award in Fiction (for a promising graduate student in fiction) All of these activities are in need of further support to continue at their present level or to become more effective. In addition to these, the department is working on various plans that will need support beyond what is available from the institution: • Post-graduate fellowships for Creative Writing Program graduates • Development of grants to support graduate students of diverse backgrounds. • Development the Department’s research library The opportunity for more fellowships, prizes, and programs is always present, limited only by the imaginations and resources of our faculty and friends.
