Thank You!
Support Creators. Support SFWA!
Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association’s first-ever seasonal giving campaign. We couldn’t be more thankful for all your support. With your help, we raised a total of $19,139.72 – an astonishing tribute to the power of story and community.
Veronica Roth (#1 New York Times best-selling author of When Among Crows, Arch-Conspirator, Poster Girl, Chosen Ones, the Divergent series, and the Carve the Mark duology) helped us over the finish line with a 3x matching campaign, and we are deeply grateful for her generosity. It tripled the impact of every gift that our wonderful community has made. The raised funds will go directly to supporting our mission of uplift, defend, advocate for, and educate creators in science fiction, fantasy, and related genres.
This is the end of our Winter Worlds of Giving Campaign – but your support is always appreciated. If you want to be involved, please consider making a one-time or recurring donation. Every dollar can move mountains for a 501(c)3 nonprofit, and the ones we can rely on regularly allow us to grow our services for long-term sustainability.
Since 1965, SFWA has provided a range of member and public benefits to assist creators at every stage of their careers. We have public resources for writers still aspiring to their first big sale, and services to assist creators thinking about their lasting legacy. In 2025, SFWA’s contracts committee assisted 46 authors. We support writers in honing their craft and building our community, which is why we offered 160 public-facing and member-only events in 2025, and are excited to keep that momentum going in 2026.
SFWA provides grants for projects supporting related genres, emergency medical funding to writers in need, legal advocacy, and contract support. But we have always done so with a lean staff supported by a tremendous group of volunteers. We onboarded 35 new volunteers in 2025, and the only way to support their work properly, along with the work of all our other dedicated volunteers, is to invest in infrastructure that will make their time and energy well spent.
Your donation goes to Where the Need Is Greatest, so that we can respond to the most pressing needs of writers every step of the way. 2026 is already shaping up to be a big year for writers’ education, uplift, advocacy, and defense, and SFWA looks forward to providing more opportunities for creators to address their needs in community.
Note: Do you work at a company with employer matching benefits? You can find steps to submit your donation for a corporate match using this link.
