Share the Power of Story — Your Gift Doubled!

Dear Festival Friend,

Judy Blume, an upcoming 2026 Festival author, once said, “Having the freedom to read and the freedom to choose is one of the best gifts my parents ever gave me.” Your gift today supports the Festival and our commitment to provide 2,000 free tickets for New Mexico students, teachers, librarians, and community members in financial need.

Thanks to a generous Festival supporter’s special year-end challenge, all donations made before December 31 will be matched 1:1, up to a total of $25,000.

Your support of the Festival will help fuel SFILF’s free ticketing program, connecting community members of all ages with inspiring authors like Blume, Carl Hiaasen, and many others.

If you have already made your gift, we thank you! If not, act now to share the power of storytelling.

DOUBLE MY GIFT
