FORM 990-EZ, PART III, LINE 28, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: IN AUGUST 2018, BEARGRASS HELD ITS FOURTH ANNUAL, LATE-SUMMER WRITING RETREAT AT THE HISTORIC E BAR L RANCH IN GREENOUGH, MONTANA. THIS RETREATS BRING TOGETHER 15-20 NATIONALLY-RECOGNIZED AUTHORS/EDITORS/AGENTS WITH ABOUT 50 PARTICIPATING WRITERS (SOME OVERNIGHT GUESTS, SOME DAY-PASSERS) TO CREATE A COMMUNITY OF WRITERS THROUGH FOUR DAYS OF WORKSHOPS, READINGS, CRAFT TALKS, ONE-ON-ONE MANUSCRIPT CONSULTATIONS, AND TIME TO WRITE. THE BEARGRASS RETREAT HAS FILLED A WRITING-RETREAT GAP IN MONTANA, A STATE WITH A RICH LITERARY HISTORY, YET NO OTHER SUCH WRITING RETREAT. IN JUST FOUR YEARS, BEARGRASS RETREATS HAVE GATHERED MORE THAN 50 WRITERS AND MORE THAN 100 PARTICIPANTS FROM MORE THAN A DOZEN STATES; OUR VISITING WRITERS HAVE BEEN ROUGHLY SPLIT BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN, REPRESENTING LITERATURE OF THE AMERICAN WEST, THE ENVIRONMENT AND NATIVE AMERICAN ISSUES, AS WELL AS NON-REGIONAL TOPICS OF FAMILY, COMING-OF-AGE AND GENDER IDENTITY. A FEW OF THE VISITING WRITERS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE 2018 BEARGRASS RETREAT AT THE E BAR L RANCH INCUDED NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR NATHAN HILL, ORION MAGAZINE PUBLISHER CHIP BLAKE, MILKWEED EDITION'S EDITOR ABBY TRAVIS, BESTSELLING AUTHOR LAURA MUNSON, NATIVE-AMERICAN POET SHERWIN BITSUI, LITERARY AGENTS KIRBY KIM AND JULIE STEVENSON, AND MANY OTHERS. FOLLOWING THE RETREAT THIS YEAR, BEARGRASS DECIDED TO EXTEND ITS PROGRAMMING TO INCLUDE SMALL (<8 STUDENTS) WEEKLY WRITING CLASSES IN THE FALL, WINTER AND SPRING.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2018 – Dec 31, 2018Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$85.8K
