How can my school fundraise to cover the costs of a Wordfest event?

Are there any subsidies available to schools to help cover the booking fee?

Some school councils in Alberta may be receiving funding from AGLC (through casino or bingo fundraisers). In the majority of cases, these funds can be used toward the expense of a school visit or field trip to a Wordfest event. Contact your school council or parent association for more information. Details of these programs can be found on The Writers’ Union of Canada readings subsidy program page.

Tip: Some teachers have reported that they have organized specific fundraisers dedicated to bringing a Wordfest author to their school. They have shared their successful fundraisers with us. You can find them on our Fundraising Ideas handout.
