What if things were different?
Society only changes when we ask ourselves that question, and no literature is better at asking it than the literature of the fantastic. The better and more fully imagined our science fiction and fantasy is, the brighter our future as a species will be.
The Clarion Foundation and the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination have embarked on a joint fundraising campaign that will make the Clarion Workshop financially self-supporting and will ensure—through scholarships—that every Clarion student who is accepted can attend.
Do your part to create a brighter future for humankind!

We also happily accept donations of goods or services in kind. To discuss donations of this type, please contact the Clarion Foundation’s President, Karen Joy Fowler, by email at president@theclarionfoundation.org.
