IPRC’s Summer Donation Drive

We have to admit we’re feeling proud of our unique little Center right now.  Not only did we survive a major recession, we’ve actually expanded our programming and workspace during challenging times.  Yes sir, with help from our innovative new Certificate Program in Independent Publishing, in 2009 we rented a beautiful new conference room/art gallery, which also allowed us to create our first ever staff office.

With all this new space and energy, the IPRC is stronger than ever.  But with additional space and programming comes additional expenses. In fact, it costs almost $10,000 a month to keep our doors open.

So we definitely need support from good folks such as yourself, and this summer we have a special way to help out the IPRC. Our talented letterpress shop supervisor Michael D’Allesandro handcrafted a beautiful letterpress postcard that reads “Mind Your P’s and Q’s This Summer at the IPRC.” Summer’s a great time to catch up on correspondences, and nothing says “you’re awesome” like a letterpress card.

We’re offering these cards as a special incentive to anyone who contributes to our Summer Donation Drive at the following levels:
Donate between $25-99 and receive three postcards
Donate between $100-199 and receive five postcards
Donate between $200-500 and receive ten postcards

You can make a secure, online donation through Network for Good by clicking here. It’s a very simple process that only takes a few minutes. And the IPRC is an official 501C3 nonprofit, so all donations are tax deductible.

Huge thanks for your support!
