À chaque mois, nous abordons un thème différent avec un mot de la direction ainsi que de courtes vignettes portant sur les fonds, les philanthropes et les organismes qui forment la communauté de la FGM en se mettant à l’écoute et au service de la communauté du Grand Montréal.

The QWF Québec Writers’ Federation Fund

QWF (the Québec Writers’ Federation) provides English-language programs, services, opportunities, and community for aspiring, emerging, and established writers and the wider community. Its goals are to:

  • Provide professional development, support, community, and employment opportunities to Quebec-based English-language writers at appropriate stages of their careers;
  • Raise the profile of QWF members who are emerging or established writers through annual literary awards, a writing residency, two online publications, and a travel fund;
  • Increase access to literary activities for underserved communities through the Writers in the Community program;
  • Increase public interaction with the literary arts through public readings, literary dinners and teas, and an annual holiday book fair (in partnership with the AELAQ);
  • Facilitate contact between qualified writers and members of the community through its online Hire-a-Writer directory;
  • Encourage dialogue and collaboration between Quebec’s English- and French-speaking literary communities;
  • Create mutually supportive partnerships with literary presenters across the province and with other national, provincial and municipal arts organizations.
  • Communicate with all levels of government on behalf of its constituency.

In August of 2023, the Quebec Writers’ Federation created its own endowment fund with FGM. This fund will support, in perpetuity, the Federation’s activities. It benefitted from the Mécénat Placements Culture matching program. Congratulations!
