Welcome to the Campaign!
Support Creators. Support SFWA!
The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association is proud to support creators in science fiction, fantasy, and related genres. Whenever we uplift, defend, advocate for, and educate within these disciplines, we contribute to a larger push to keep literature, learning, critical thinking, and creative practice going strong.
That’s why, for three of the most potent months in a writer’s calendar – during November writing challenges, December end-of-year deadline scrambles, and the thrilling dawn of January new year’s goals – we invite you into our Winter Worlds of Giving.
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. In 2025, SFWA’s contracts committee assisted 46 authors. We support writers in honing their craft and building their community by offering 160 in the past calendar year.
We provide grants for projects supporting related genres, emergency medical funding to writers in need and legal advocacy. But we have always done so with a lean staff supported by a tremendous group of volunteers. We onboarded 35 new volunteers in 2025. This means that every dollar counts, and every commitment to recurring donation or sponsorship moves mountains. That includes employer matching gifts, so make sure to check if your workplace can increase the impact of your gift.
When we ask for your donation, it goes to Where the Need Is Greatest, so that we can respond to the most pressing needs of writers every step along the way. We are looking forward to advancing vital conversations in 2026 about writers’ rights in a challenging era, and to providing more opportunities for creators to address their needs in community.
Will you stand with us? Our benchmark goal of $20,000 this season will let us keep writing – and dreaming – together.
