FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November
7, 2016
Atelier26 Books is proud to announce that it is the recipient
of a $2,000 Small Arts & Culture Grant from The Oregon Community Foundation. The grant will support the publication of a new work of literature
slated for release in 2017.
“This material support from the Oregon Community
Foundation is extremely meaningful,“ said Publisher M. Allen Cunningham. “One of my core beliefs about publishing is that quality books are far more than
consumable goods, and shared reading experiences can foster community and
cultural vitality. It is thanks to grants like this and generous donations from
readers that Atelier26 is able to bring unconventionally beautiful and resonant
works to the public. I hope that our recognition by the Oregon Community
Foundation will encourage generous individuals to consider us for their
year-end giving.” Cunningham notes that Atelier26 always accepts tax-deductible donations of any size through its website.
Atelier26 is an independent publisher in Portland, Oregon
that exists to demonstrate the powers and possibilities of literature through
beautifully designed and expressive books that get people listening, talking,
and exchanging ideas. Our recent release, People Like You by
Margaret Malone, was named a 2016 PEN/Hemingway Award Finalist for Debut
Fiction and was awarded the Balcones Fiction Prize.
The mission of The
Oregon Community Foundation is to improve life in Oregon and promote effective philanthropy. OCF works with individuals, families,
businesses and organizations to create charitable funds to support the
community causes they care about. Through these funds OCF awards more
than $60 million annually in grants and scholarships.The Foundation makes
