Paint for the Poet’s House

Your donation will help preserve and maintain Theodore Roethke’s family home.

Thanks to generous funding from the Saginaw Community Foundation, as well as other donors and partners, we’ve been able to complete many updates to the poet’s house this year.

We now urgently need to complete critical maintenance projects, including painting the exterior of the home. This necessary maintenance will cost around $21,000.

While we have secured the majority of the funds from the Saginaw Community Foundation, we need your help to cover the remaining $3,000. 

With your support, we can meet our current project timeline to and continue preserving the Roethke House.

This giving request ends September 30, 2025.
