Support Our Mission by Becoming a Donor!
While basic membership fees help sustain the work we do to build and support an active writing community in Alaska, they do not begin to cover all of the expenses we incur. Financial contributions beyond annual membership fees are vital to ensuring that our programming and services continue, and we urge our you to consider supporting 49 Writers as a donor. Donors receive public recognition and a small 49 Writers swag item.
