Help support the Southeast Wisconsin Festival of Books’ efforts to promote literacy in Southeast Wisconsin by donating to become a Friend of the Festival, helping to sponsor the event, and/or volunteering.

Donate to the Festival

Festival sponsors make the event possible through their private support. Tax-deductible donations and sponsorships help defray expenses and work to:

• Promote literacy
• Celebrate literature and the arts
• Increase awareness of UWM at Waukesha as a learning resource
• Support authors with community exposure
• Attract youth to the potential of the written word
• Link reading to current culture and future technology
• Provide intergenerational learning in a free, public event

Volunteer with the Festival

In addition to donations and sponsorships, volunteers provide the backbone to the Festival. With their assistance, word gets out to the community about the Festival and what it has to offer. During the Festival, it will be the volunteers that create a welcoming and organized experience for the authors and readers.

Please consider helping to make the Festival a success!
