Young Chicago Authors acknowledges and is grateful for the vital support from foundations, corporations, government agencies, and individuals like you.

Without the support of our philanthropic community, YCA would not be able to provide free innovative creative writing programs to Chicago youth each year. Thanks to our funders and donors for their generous support and belief in YCA’s mission.
