About Writers in the Community

The Writers in the Community program pairs small groups of young people with a professional writer or literary performance artist who can teach them and, more importantly, motivate them, to use language to express themselves in productive ways. In each project, a writer-facilitator works with a small group for 10 weeks, teaching them language tools, giving them writing prompts, and ultimately, boosting their self-confidence by showing them that they are capable of producing literary work of value.

Most of our partners are unable to make a financial contribution to the program. We raise most of the money we need for the program from foundations and public funders, but it’s not enough.

Fortunately, the QWF community has been extraordinarily generous since we launched our first Pyramid Campaign in 2011. Each year, our members have contributed a significant proportion of the funds that help us to finance the Writers in the Community workshops.

Our 2026 Campaign Goal

Thanks to the generosity and coming together of our community, last year we raised over $27,000, breaking all previous records! We’re aiming to do that again this year.

Here’s one way we can do it: 

• 25 “I want to help” donations of $30
• 45 “I can do more!” donations of $50
• 50 “I make my living as a writer!” donations of $100
• 30 “I have a grown-up job!” donations of $500
• 4 “Angel” donations of $1000

Two Ways to Give

If you want QWF to get every cent of your contribution, you can mail us a cheque made out to “Quebec Writers’ Federation” with WIC 2025 written on the memo line. Be sure to include your email address so we can send you your tax receipt.

If you’d like to contribute more than you feel comfortable with at this given moment, you might also consider pledging a fixed monthly amount using the online donation form. Those monthly donations add up!

Whichever way you donate, do let us know how you’d like your name to appear when we acknowledge your gift.
