The Room is supported by quarterly membership fees and contributions from public and private sources.  Outside sources provide more than half of the operating expenses of the Room.  The Room is funded in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council  and has received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in support of its Emerging Writers Initiative.  The Morris S. Smith Foundation, the Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation, and the Max and Victoria Dreyfus Foundation have funded this project as well. Donations to the Writers’ Room are tax-deductible.
