Who We Are
Regional INK is made up of dedicated volunteers who believe in the Power of Books, Literacy and Community. One hundred percent of the funds raised via donations, grants and fundraisers will go directly to funding books that have historically been delivered to schools, museums, libraries and the general public. The cost of producing quality regional publications has soared, so we humbly ask for your donation of any amount, in order to fulfill our mission.
