“The power of storytelling is exactly this. To bridge the gaps where everything else has crumbled.” — Paulo Coelho

Donate to Help Us Bridge the Gaps

The Bay Area Book Festival is where stories and their creators come off the page to live, breathe, and interact with us all. Whether it’s onstage before a crowd of hundreds, or on a virtual screen reaching thousands across the world, we bring to life literary conversations that matter, inspire, and bring people together in polarizing times. If you can’t live without the solace and meaning that literature brings, be a story-savior and support us with a one-time or monthly tax-deductible donation.

Do You Own Stocks?

Giving a gift of appreciated securities is easy…and it could help you save big on taxes!

Another tax-saver: if you’re over 70 ½ and must take a “required qualified distribution” from your IRA, you can donate it to BABF.

Both options couldn’t be simpler! Email [email protected].
