Why support Redbud?

Our mission is to bring the life-changing power of creative writing to every single person in our community. We offer six-week, low-cost classes in fiction, memoir, poetry, and more to the general public, as well as completely free offerings to groups such as survivors of domestic violence, unhoused people, and those in addiction recovery. Creative writing creates community, combats loneliness, promotes wellness, leads to the creation of our favorite books, uplifts the people who need it most, and changes lives—our students regularly tell us so.

We are currently fundraising to cover our expenses for the first quarter of 2026, which will include a class at Healing Transitions for addiction recovery, a class for BIPOC writers, one for unhoused Raleighites, the launch of a new student-run literary magazine, and much more.

Get your tickets today! See you on the 15th!
