Donors Make the Difference
A lot was lost as a result of the necessary pivot from an in-person festival to a virtual festival in 2020, but in our reduced capacity we were able to present some of our most relevant programming to date as a result of generous donors like you.
"I have been to the festival and involved in the planning for many years, and this virtual lineup was better than ever--the guests were crucial and diverse, and the impressive line-up gave voice to the continued popularity of books and indeed their increased import during this time. Virtual or no, the DBF remains a touchstone and north star."
