DONATE

The Harbor Springs Festival of the Book welcomes donations from those who love to read books, talk about books, and meet those who write books. Our registration fee accounts for less than 5% of our entire budget, so we welcome your donation as it helps us keep the cost to attend the Festival so low. Your contributions to the Festival’s General Fund allow us to bring our unique programming to life. Contributions to our Books for Schools Fund help us expand the reach of our Authors in Schools visits. We also welcome donations in honor or memory of book-loving people in your life.

The Festival is a 501(c)(3) organization (Federal ID: 47-1729627), and your gift may qualify as a charitable deduction. Please consult with your tax adviser or the IRS for more details.
