Support Us
Join us in our mission to stimulate the minds and nurture the souls of readers and students!
In just five years, we have been thrilled to see the impact the Sonoma Valley Authors Festival has made in the Sonoma Community.
Your Impact By The Numbers
In 4 years of holding the Festival in-person:
8,500+ students
have explored new ideas in person with our award-winning writers and thought leaders
14,000+ books
written by the presenting authors have been given to students, all paid for with private funds
125+ world-class authors & speakers
have discussed a myriad of topics and various disciplines
2,000+ Sonoma County citizens
have participated in Authors on the Plaza, our free, family-friendly, community event on the historic Sonoma town square
None of this would have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors and donors. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we could not bring you the annual Sonoma Valley Authors Festival, Students Day, and Authors on the Plaza events without your contributions. Thank you!
We would be honored to have your help in bringing the 6th Sonoma Valley Author Festival to Sonoma! There are several ways for you to contribute:

Donate to the Festival and Students Day
Donations to the Sonoma Valley Authors Festival will go directly towards benefiting the Sonoma Valley community and students, as well as helping us cover the costs of producing the Festival. The Sonoma Valley Authors Festival is a 501c3 non-profit organization, established in the Sonoma Valley in 2018. Our mission is to stimulate the minds and nurture the souls of readers of all ages. In addition to the main 3-day Festival, our Students Day program invites over 2,700 Sonoma Valley middle and high school students to explore thought-provoking ideas as they personally engage with some of today’s most extraordinary writers. Every dollar counts as we work to cover costs such as speaker fees, author arrangements, transportation, hosted meals, event communications, registration and event support, and more.
