SAL's Challenge

In a time when speakers’ fees and production costs are increasing, and foundation support is dwindling, SAL needs your help. Ticket sales generate only 30% of our operating budget. In addition to attending our events, consider investing in SAL’s mission by making a contribution.

In 2008, our programs served over 36,000 people, including 10,000 public school students. When you make a donation to SAL, your money goes directly towards helping to sustain and grow our programs, so that we can continue to foster the literary arts in the Puget Sound region. With your help, SAL will continue to provide these quality programs that impact people of all ages and backgrounds. Make a gift today!
