Stories, Voices, and Vision

30th Anniversary Fundraiser – EOFY Giving Drive

For 30 years, we’ve championed writers and fostered a diverse, dynamic literary culture in the ACT and beyond — first as the ACT Writers Centre, and now proudly trading as MARION.

As we mark this milestone, we invite you to help shape what comes next.

Your tax-deductible donation this EOFY will support:

  • New writing commissions by local and regional authors

  • Community gathering and anniversary events

  • Development opportunities for emerging voices

Every contribution helps us continue nurturing stories, voices and vision for the next 30 years — and beyond.

Donate, Relax, Repeat

Donate $30 or more before 30 June and you’ll go in the draw to win one of four curated Read & Relax Packs.

Each prize pack includes:

  • A selection of 8 fabulous books, including children’s, young adult, fiction and memoir

  • A decadent chocolate treat from Junee Chocolate Factory

  • A tea sampler from Waypoint Tea — perfect for a quiet moment with a great read

The MARION End of Financial Year Giving Drive is a celebration of our vibrant community of writers, poets, artists, storytellers, and literature-lovers.
