Your contribution helps us connect K-12 students with inspiring authors, supports our free spring Incite conversations, and ensures accessibility to one of the most celebrated literary festivals in the world.
Support our flagship Festival in October, which brings more than 17,000 people to Granville Island for more than 100 events each year. Help us fly authors to Vancouver by donating your Aeroplan Miles.
Support our educational programming that connects students from K-12 with celebrated writers from across the globe. One-third of the Festival is programmed to educate students through listening to writers with unique perspectives and inspirational messages.

Become a VWF MemberDonate Legacy Funds
If books have been a lifelong companion for you, consider supporting the Vancouver Writers Fest as part of your legacy giving.
“We don’t need a list of rights and wrongs, tables of dos and don’ts; We need books, time and silence. Thou shalt not is soon forgotten, but Once upon a Time lasts forever.”
Please contact us at info@writersfest.bc.ca to discuss how to give a legacy gift—including living trusts, beneficiary designations, securities, endowment gifts, or planned giving. Our team will work with you and your financial planner to ensure all tax and membership benefits are in order.
In 2006, the Vancouver Writers Fest and several of our community supporters established a $1 million dollar endowment fund to celebrate the accomplishments of founding artistic director Alma Lee, and ensure that the Festival continues to thrive for years to come.
