MEMORIES IN WRITING FOUNDATION INC.

Mission

Every Story

Matters

Preserving stories helps us reflect on the events that shaped us, connect generations, and reduce isolation. Our lived experiences do more than define who we are—they shape the families and communities we are part of today and influence the generations that follow.

Share a Story

Our Mission

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we encourage people to capture, preserve, and share their life stories and family histories by providing story-preserving resources that help keep meaningful memories from being lost over time.

Why Preserving Stories Matters

Reflect & Connect

Reflecting on life’s moments can be meaningful, grounding, and a reminder that our experiences help explain who we are and the values, behaviors & traditions we pass on.

Preserve History

Every person carries a piece of history - family traditions, military service, career lessons, community memories, cultural experiences, and everyday moments

Reduce Isolation

When someone is invited to share a memory, they are reminded that their experiences have value. Storytelling creates conversation, connection, and belonging.

Connect Generations

Turn a name on a family tree into a person. A story helps children, grandchildren, students, and communities understand where they came from and who shaped them.

programs and Initiatives

We help individuals, families, veterans, students, caregivers, and community groups capture and preserve the stories that shape our lives and our future.
