Become a Founding Festival Godmother

The Berkshire Festival of Women Writers warmly encourages you to support our mission of providing more opportunities for women of all ages and from many backgrounds to share their talents with Berkshire audiences.

This year for the first time we are starting a Godmother’s Circle of sustaining supporters of the Festival. Please give generously and help us grow our Festival to the next level!

Among the initiatives we’d like to undertake:

  • an annual “Best of the Festival” journal or book;
  • a series of day-long writing retreats for women and girls;
  • a jazzier website;
  • and of course, year after year of stimulating, inspiring Festivals during the month of March, Women’s History Month.

We need your help to make this vision possible!  Please become a Founding Festival Godmother and make it happen. A Godmothers’ networking and informational event will be announced shortly.

YES!  Please sign me up as a Founding Festival Godmother at the following level:
