It’s Double-Up Donation Weekend this November 4 and 5! It’s NaNoWriMo’s biggest fundraiser of the year, when we celebrate our creative community with super fun prize giveaways, double the donor thank-you goodies, and, as always, lots of writerly joy.

This year, we have set a USD $150,000 fundraising goal and a 150 million word count goal for Donation Weekend, all in support of NaNoWriMo’s nonprofit mission to encourage creativity and build worlds both on and off the page.

What’s the double-up, you ask? $25 donors get the $50 goodies, and $50 donors get the $100 goodies. Plus, fun hourly prizes! Digital freebies! Author webcasts! And so much more.

Donate to NaNoWriMo!
