Geist magazine provides readers with a way to invest $20 in new writing and art

Vancouver-based Geist magazine has marked its 20th anniversary with the launching of the Geist Writers and Artists Fund, dedicated to commissioning even more work from Canadian writers, photographers and artists. It's an attempt by the magazine to continue the work that has been made possible the past three years by a couple of special grants related to the Olympics.
By providing [writers and artists] with respectable fees and the editorial support to undertake in-depth projects, we can enrich their creative work and our readers’ appreciation of Canadian culture and ideas.
The goal in 2010 is to raise $10,000, to commission three works, by asking readers to donate $20 each; the magazine helpfully provides 20 reasons to do so.
