Lighthouse Writers Workshop is a non-profit organization that provides arts education, support, and community for writers and readers in the Rocky Mountain region and beyond. Lighthouse uses the funds to provide tuition for veterans who know the healing power of writing, who want a serious forum for pushing themselves as writers, who need business and development opportunities, and who wish to participate in programs that carry tuition that is prohibitive to them. A great deal of recent research has shown that creative writing can provide lasting emotional and intellectual benefits. Lighthouse is honored to have Writership funds available specifically for veterans, made possible through the generous support of Prevent & Prevail. Total $18,500
