We need your help to keep it that way

This past year has been extraordinary in so many different ways. Our lives were flipped upside down, and so was our festival. For the first time in 22 years, Fall for the Book went fully virtual, and so did you! We were thrilled to see over 15,000 people live and on-demand during our Fall festival and spring Pop-Up Lit Night, with a full 5,000 of those just to see Kristin Hannah! Thank you to everyone who made this landmark year such a success – from those who attended events, shared them on social media, and donated much needed funds to help us keep going. Looking forward to our 2021-2022 season, we have big things in store.

As with many arts organizations around Northern Virginia and the country, Fall for the Book took a financial hit during the pandemic, losing 25% of our financial support. We’ve been grateful that although people have been under tighter budgets, they’ve still reached out to us and donated. But facing another year with limited resources, we need your help.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 over the next few months to help support the technology required to continue to bring high quality, free events right to your living room, and to hopefully start hosting in-person events once things are safe.
