Why support Sydney Writers’ Festival?
"As the largest festival of its kind in Australia, Sydney Writers’ Festival plays a pivotal role in shaping the intellectual, cultural and social life of our city. Writers and readers from across our country and the world gather to explore their work and debate the most pressing issues of our day. Face to face in real space and in real time. With 50% of our events provided free, we are dedicated to ensuring that the festival is accessible to all."
SWF 2010 Artistic Director Chip Rolley
How are we funded?
Sydney Writers’ Festival is a non-profit organisation with one third of our funding coming from state, federal and local governments. The generous support provided by donors and partners is vital to the Festival’s ongoing success.
By becoming a Private Donor of Sydney Writers' Festival you will make a valuable contribution to the work we do and help us to bring the world's finest thinkers and writers to Sydney.

How will Sydney Writers' Festival recognise my contribution?

Try a Giving Circle
We hope that together with your friends or colleagues, you might be able to raise a total of $10,000 (the average cost to bring out an international writer). Reaching this target enables us to invite a high profile festival guest and offer your group (or Giving Circle) access to the sponsored guest during the festival.
In return for your generous support we will highlight your outstanding contribution at the sponsored guest’s festival event, on our website, in our program and through our newsletter. We are also keen to hear if you have a preference for a writer from a specific genre. Crime, fiction, politics or a preferred region. We will endeavour to match your contribution to the relevant guest.
