Supporters & Donors
Ridgelines receives generous support from individuals and granting agencies. We are grateful to all those who enable us to work towards a central Pennsylvania in which imaginative acts have public consequence, in which the language arts are valued as critical forms of information, and in which everyone has equal voice.
