March 2025 Matching Campaign
For nearly four decades, the Vancouver Writers Fest has held its annual Festival on Granville Island, bringing thousands of noteworthy authors to our city. The Festival serves as a vital space where literature meets community, fostering meaningful conversations and challenging established perspectives. However, we currently face significant challenges in delivering our work. Rising operational costs and diminishing support from corporate and government funders, alongside a negative economic outlook, have led to difficult decisions across the arts, culture, and events sector in BC.
This year, our longtime supporter Bonnie Mah has pledged a $15,000 commitment to match any donations received before April 1st, 2025, effectively doubling your impact. Your contributions will help us continue showcasing authors, promoting diverse narratives, and engaging thinkers from all walks of life.
