Donate to the BBF

Since 2009, the Boston Book Festival has brought a day of author events, readings, literary activities, and more to the Boston-area community. And we offer the BBF for free — but it’s not without a cost. We rely on generous donors who believe in the power of words to stimulate, agitate, unite, delight, and inspire.

Your donation to the Boston Book Festival, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, is tax-deductible. Membership benefits start at just $50, but we accept donations of any amount — even the amount of a coffee or paperback. Additionally, the knowledge that you’re supporting this beloved annual tradition is priceless.

Boston Book Festival uses Click & Pledge to process our secure online transactions, and you can make a donation using a major credit card.
