Make a big impact with a small gift every month

Whether you’ve appeared on our stage, attended one of our events, or become an annual donor, you’re the hero in our First Person Arts story.

From our legendary StorySlams to our new StoryGym workshops to our ongoing powerful TRIGGER VIP program for schools, First Person Arts offers more programming to more communities around Philly and the Commonwealth than ever before. Work that sustains and nourishes the heart of our community.

And we can’t do any of this vital work without you.

And we have a new call to adventure to offer you:

Become a Friend of FPA today!

If you accept this call, you’ll show that you believe in the power of story to change lives, while enjoying the benefits of deeper connections with the FPA community–and perks. So many perks!

Your recurring monthly donation will support vital work that includes:

  • Hosting our First Person Arts Storytelling Festival to bring communities together with the best memoir and documentary storytellers from around the world
  • Amplifying the voices of our neighbors through our monthly StorySlams and Applied Storytelling workshops
  • Fighting against gun violence through the healing power of story with TRIGGER
  • Teaching people just like you how to share their stories of vulnerability and hope

As a small nonprofit, it's essential for us to raise unrestricted funds that can be used where they're needed most. Monthly donations allow us to respond to our community's changing needs quickly.

Become a Friend of FPA today and help us amplify the voices of our community.

Here's why our long-time board member Peter Bloomfield donates, and you should too.
