A sample from a grant for a literary institution:
Literary arts are the cornerstone to community building and empathy, as well as the key element to a well-rounded education. In Review of a Complete Education, Beth Warren links low levels of literacy with high levels of drop-out rates. Without a baseline of reading and writing there is not much to build on and, as public schools remain underfunded, the arts and humanities suffer.
Literacy, however, is not simply a building block. Studies show that people who write about their experiences exhibit improvements in their health and wellness. According to Heather Stuckey and Jeremy Nobel in their review, The Connection Between Art, Healing, and Public Health, writing has the effect of long term healing when it comes to recording or fictionalizing upsetting experiences. Reading and understanding other people's stories, traumas, and perspectives helps a community bond and encourages individuals to grow. Inclusion in basic education as well as health and wellness through self-expression benefits all community members and this pressing need is crucial for literary institutions to understand.
