The Spark You Create

  • ✽

    A door opens.
    Your gift helps cover retreat costs for someone who wouldn’t otherwise be able to attend.

  • ✽

    A story begins.
    When one person finds their voice, it ripples outward—to their family, community, and beyond.

  • ✽

    A legacy grows.
    ANI Retreats aren’t just vacations: they’re life-shifting experiences that turn memories and ideas into something lasting.

  • ✽

    The story circle expands.
    Every supporter becomes part of Friends of ANI—a growing circle of people who believe in the power of story.

    Friends of ANI enjoy special perks, first announcements for new experiences, and even private events for their organizations.

  • ✽

    A spark catches fire
    Creativity is contagious. Helping one writer find their voice inspires others to do the same.

  • ✽

    Pass the Spark!
    If you can’t make it this time, help someone believe in the power of their story. Your generosity will come back to you, and we can’t wait to hear that story!

Share your spark

So many people find themselves in a place where they’d love to write their way back to themselves, but they don’t have the full funding to do so.

ANI is committed to making all of our programming as accessible as possible. If you’re of a like mind, and you’d like to support our mission, we’d love to share your spark with someone who is ready to tell their story.
