Causes We Support
At Red Room, we believe writing has the power to transform individuals as well as society as a whole. Causes We Support is a vital part of Red Room, as it shines a spotlight on organizations effecting change around the world. Because our authors are also socially minded, we are profiling the nonprofit groups significant to them. A portion of our after-tax net profits will go to the causes our authors support, which will be highlighted on every Author Page with a running tally of how much each author has raised for each cause.
Red Room sees a tremendous opportunity to impact education, literacy, and the spread of caring and intelligent ideas through our unique, grassroots, philanthropic model. In addition, Red Room plans to form its own nonprofit organization to connect with at-risk youth, work with them to find their voice, and establish a vital sense of community.
This week, Red Room features National Novel Writing Month. Please check out the organization's profile to learn more about its valuable work and which Red Room authors support it.
