Poetry Foundation, a non-profit organization headquartered in the United States, operates with approximately 140 employees. The company's activities involve search, social, and retail media. Functioning to promote poetry and lyricism, the organization provides live concerts, poetry readings, classes, and exhibitions.
On September 10, 2026, the Poetry Foundation announced the recipients of its 2026 Pegasus Awards, distributing $195,000 in prizes for poetry craft service and criticism, including the $100,000 Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize awarded to Robert Pinsky. This follows an article published on February 24, which detailed the Foundation's participation in a coalition of seven charitable organizations that last October announced a new $50 million investment in the literary arts, described as the largest funding initiative of its kind in decades. The article suggested the Foundation was embracing a new role as a funder. Earlier on February 24, the Poetry Foundation announced the return of its free Summer Poetry Teachers Institute to Chicago from July 13–17, 2026. The five-day professional development program invites K–12 teachers and community college educators nationwide to deepen poetry instruction.
