Make a Donation

We need your help. The Watermark Literary Society presents the biennial Watermark Literary Muster as a sharing with readers and writers of the best nature literature that the world has to offer. It also administers the biennial Watermark Fellowship to aid and encourage emerging new writers of the literature of nature and place.

To do this takes money – it’s an expensive exercise.

Your support will help sustain the Watermark experience by providing much needed funds that underwrite the costs associated with running a literary event and appropriately remunerating the invited writers.

Tax Deductability
The Watermark Literary Society Gift Fund is a tax deductible fund listed on the Register of Cultural Organisations (ROCO) under Subdivision 30-F of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. Unconditional donations of $2.00 and over are fully tax deductible.
