The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with a mission to foster public appreciation of children’s books and to support the vibrant community of people who create and promote them.
If you would like to support our organization can do so in three ways:
1. With membership. The easiest way to support SCBWI is with membership. Your continued membership makes our events, programs, grants, awards and outreach possible.
2. Donate to the Tribute Fund. The SCBWI Tribute Fund commemorates members of the children’s book community, their lives and their work by funding scholarships to the SCBWI International Summer and Winter Conferences. Each year the SCBWI grants between six and eight scholarships to SCBWI members who are on the cusp of a breakthrough but could not otherwise attend the conference.
Please send a check and the name of the person you would like to commemorate to:
SCBWI Tribute Fund
8271 Beverly Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90048
Your tribute will be announced in the following bulletin. Dollar amounts will not be listed. If you wish to remain anonymous please indicate so in your letter.
3. Donate to the Amber Brown Fund. Each year the SCBWI sends well respected children's book authors and illustrators to two public schools who could not normally afford to have them.
To donate, please send a check to:
