This week a poetry entity dubbed Black African Poets alongside other community project groups received a staggering P1.7 million from BTC Foundation. From the sponsorship amount the poetry entity received P769,186, which is a fortune for the poetry industry as it hardly ever gets funding.

With the funds Black African Poets is expected to host an annual BTC Foundation Poetry Festival. Monthly Poetry Nights will augment the Poetry festival throughout the country.
