Funding from a major university was slower than anticipated, but soon will be available to Kore Press Institute. Growth Partners Arizona provided a bridge loan to help Kore with cash flow. This literary arts nonprofit works collaboratively on programming that increases equity, solidarity, and advances gender and racial justice through the literary arts. Specifically, the organization amplifies the voices in the margins through literary publishing, education, and community engagement in difficult conversations using writing and language as a central tool.
