Fund the residency

Fund the room where men rebuild what comes next.

The founding goal is $10,000 for an eight-session Guided Authorship residency serving up to 20 men in a Tucson recovery or reentry community at no cost to participants.

The gap

The invitation is developing. The funding does not exist—yet.

Community conversations indicate interest in making space for this work. A host, dates and any public facility naming remain subject to written approval. This page prepares sponsor conversations without claiming a confirmed facility or live crowdfunding campaign.

Guided Authorship is educational and arts-based. It complements—but does not replace—clinical care, case management, peer support, workforce services or other host programming.
