Melbourne Writers Festival is a not-for-profit organisation – which means we never make a profit from ticket purchases or donations. Everything goes back into putting on the Festival you love. 

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.

When you choose to support MWF, you play a direct role in bringing this Festival to life.

For further assistance or to discuss your donation, please email development@mwf.com.au.
