Sponsors of Walking Rain Review
THE LANNAN FOUNDATION
Lannan Foundation is a family foundation dedicated to cultural freedom, diversity and creativity through projects which
support exceptional contemporary artists and writers, as well as inspired Native activists in rural indigenous communities.
The foundation recognizes the profound and often unquantifiable value of the creative process and is willing to take risks
and make substantial investments in ambitious and experimental thinking. Understanding that globalization threatens all
cultures and ecosystems, the foundation is particularly interested in projects that encourage freedom of inquiry,
imagination, and expression.
The foundation supports this mission with long-term special projects requiring multi-year commitments of funding and
technical assistance in the areas of contemporary visual art, literature, indigenous communities, and issues of cultural
freedom.
Many thanks to Patrick Lannan and Members of the Board of Directors and the Staff of the Lannan Foundation,
who make the journal of Walking Rain Review and the prison Workshops possible, and who have donated more than
1,000 books to the prison libraries of Southern Arizona.
