Sharing stories, building community
Postcards to the Planet
For Earth Day 2024, we set up a table on the Ithaca Commons, put a pile of old postcards in a box, and asked passersby to grab a card and write a note to the planet. Here's what they had to say.

Ithaca College student Isaac Ensel has created a short video about our philosophy and the work we do. Thank you, Isaac!
We heart our supporters!
It has been a busy few weeks here at Story House – not that you would necessarily have noticed! We have been beavering away on no fewer than five grant proposals to support new and ongoing programs. That means meeting with collaborators, drawing up plans, writing budgets, and honing our arguments for why what we do is important. Such is the life of a small community nonprofit – especially one that's reluctant to charge for its activities.
Now that the proposals are in, we want to pause for a moment to let you know how much your support means to us. Some of you give regularly and others chip in with a few bucks at an event. We notice and we're grateful!
We also want to recognize the foundations, organizations, and companies who have helped make the Story House vision real. Heartfelt thanks to Humanities New York, Park Foundation, Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County, Community Foundation of Tompkins County, Triad Foundation, JM McDonald Foundation, The Sophie Fund, Legacy Foundation of Tompkins County, NAMI Finger Lakes, Tompkins Bank, The Learning Farm, Khuba International, and CCM.
Happy birthday, Belvédère!
Our friends at Story House Belvédère in The Netherlands asked us to contribute a video for their 10th anniversary celebration. We thought you might like to see what we sent them. Turns out Story House Ithaca is one of several organizations around the world that they've inspired into existence!
