SmokeLong is always looking for organizations who work wonders. From leading workshops to funding them or simply giving to deserving causes, we’re excited to be able to help where we can. When you donate to SmokeLong, you are also donating (or have donated) to causes like the ones below. Even if you choose not to donate through SmokeLong, we encourage you to donate directly to the organizations below. They do great things.
Your donation helps writers, editors, reviewers, workshop leaders, and artists get paid for their work. If you’re enjoying what you read here, please consider donating to SmokeLong Quarterly today. We also give a portion of what we earn to the organizations on our "We Support" page.
