“I donate to Melbourne Writers Festival every year because I appreciate the care and consideration that goes into crafting a literary event that is culturally relevant and engaging. I love that the festival celebrates local and international talent, and champions how important reading is to unite communities.” — MWF 2023 Donor
Melbourne Writers Festival is a not-for-profit organisation – which means we never make a profit from your ticket purchases or donations. Everything goes back into putting on the Festival you love. The events you attend in iconic Melbourne venues, book signings with your favourite writers, connecting with friends over an extraordinary conversation – it is only made possible thanks to your support.
We’re thinking about the future of your Festival.
We want to continue to be your trusted curator of vital conversations, but also do more of what you love. Podcasts, digital sessions, free events, self-determined First Nations curated programming, our MWF Schools program, debut writers, workshops – more of the events you love with the writers you love to read.
Join our community of donors by making a tax-deductible donation to MWF today.
Your contribution will support:
> Our continued recovery from the impacts of COVID and the cancelled 2020 and 2021 Festivals
> The MWF Schools program, which reaches more than 2,500 students annually
> Our commitment to building public programming that elevates the voices of women and non-binary writers, First Nations writers, and writers of colour, including a series of events presented by First Nations Curators each year
> Live events beyond the Melbourne CBD, including at local libraries and other cultural venues across the outer suburbs
> Paid work for Australian writers, helping to strengthen the careers and global reputations of writers featured
“I donate to MWF because it is one of my favourite festivals of the year, I always eagerly await the program and am so inspired by the events I attend. I only want to see it grow.” — MWF 2023 Donor
