Description

As a nonprofit enterprise, Ploughshares relies on readers like you. Giving to Ploughshares supports our commitment to paying our writers for excellence in the literary arts.

In 2016, we established an initiative to support writers: The Ploughshares Anniversary Fund. When you donate to the Anniversary Fund, 100% of your gift will go toward paying a writer published in Ploughshares. Together, we can guarantee that writers are paid for their work, and we can continue to attract the highest quality literature for Ploughshares readers around the world.

For more information about the donors who make our work possible, please visit our Ploughshares Patrons page. To view our fiscal year 2023 annual report, please click here.
