Proactively working with others increases the impact of our work at the James Baker Hall Foundation. We offer customized regional grant and sponsorship programs designed to integrate with our direct state-wide book award and speaker series platforms.

Our regional partners are extraordinary groups and individuals who work to support Kentucky writers. We identify where good work is already being done and provide grant funding to help do more of it. We identify where the components exist to do good work and provide grant funding or sponsorships to help a new program get started.
