A donation to Writing WA is a gift to our state’s storytellers.
It’s the laying down of bricks to build pathways for new and established writers so they can produce the stories that define careers and shape communities.
It’s the enabling of festivals, events and programs that showcase writers and deliver rich cultural experiences to WA audiences.
When you donate to Writing WA, you give immediate power to new opportunities, new voices and new stories. You join a creative community of doers and change-makers.
Together we write the big picture.
The rewards are seeing the impact our donations have on Western Australian writers and readers at a grassroots level and knowing that we are really helping writers to develop. Ten years later I can still say categorically that a … donation invested in Writing WA is by far the best return on investment and reward, more than any other (arts) organisation.
