Our mission shall be to encourage new, talented writers associated with the Midwest and to promote the arts, especially literature, among our members. The Foundation Fund was created to pursue this goal through education, training and scholarships for students of writing.
Currently, FAW uses the Foundation Fund to grant a scholarship to students pursuing advanced degrees in writing at Columbia College. Previously, we have awarded scholarships to students at National Louis University and Roosevelt University. Scholarship recipients are nominated by faculty and show outstanding promise and skills in their writing pursuits.
Foundation Fund gifts can be made in your own name or in memory of a friend. Gifts of one hundred dollars or more shall entitle the donor to be listed in the FAW yearbook as a Foundation Fund Contributor. You may give "in memory of" or "in honor of" a specific family member or friend, or opt to be listed anonymously. FAW is a 501(c)(3) organization.
