The Kimsey Foundation Extends #GivingTuesday Match

WOW. Friends: our gratitude overflows for your support of this campaign. Last night, with two weeks left to go until the official #GivingTuesday, we reached our initial goal thanks to your extreme generosity.

Amy & Peter Pastan Support #GivingTuesday

You’ve heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but have you heard of #GivingTuesday? Now entering its fifth year, #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving that connects individuals to causes that matter.

(Finally) Introducing Our Fall Interns

We’re excited to introduce our fall interns that showcase their hard work and dedication to the 826DC mission everyday! From programming and publishing to communication and development, they really help us do it all.

A Series of Spectacular Halloween Events

From paranormal-inspired poetry, to (not too) scary stories, to in-house card tricks, we’ve got your Halloween season covered. Make sure to stop by our store this month for a range of family friendly and adults only events that are sure to get you in the right spirit, plus a SALE ON COSTUMES!

Storefront Roundtable

We’re assembling a group of writers, designers, and general magic-makers to think about the ways we can improve 826DC’s storefront (Tivoli’s Astounding Magic Supply Company), starting with our volunteer-created products and the visitor experience.

After-School Tutoring Opens Registration

Registration is open to DC-based students ages 6 to 18. Priority enrollment is given to students whose families qualify for free-or-reduced meal plans and/or identify as English Language Learners.

We’ve Been Challenged by The Cafritz Foundation!

We’ve been challenged by our July Community Partner of the Month! 826DC is so grateful to receive the continued support of The Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation. Many thanks to the Foundation for all it does for the arts community in the District.

We Did It!

Sometime after 10 a.m. on June 3, during a storytelling and bookmaking field trip, something amazing happened. Amidst soccer-playing characters with superpowers and a candyland setting, we exceeded our goal for the year and served our 5,000th student (!!!).

My Heart Went Beating Fast

Each year, 826DC publishes a unique collection of student work as the culmination of our Young Authors Book Project (YABP), a year-long partnership with a class or group of young authors to develop their writing.

Welcome Summer Interns!

This Summer we are joined by eight magical interns from all parts of the world.
