WIA Membership Fund 2024
In 2023, WIA launched the Membership Fund, raising donations so our community members could receive a 12-month WIA Creator Level Membership at no cost. This fund provides opportunities for aspiring creators who may face financial barriers. It's a direct investment in their dreams, allowing them to access necessary resources and support. The Membership Fund is available to any NEW WIA member who has not previously joined WIA and WIA Members who have not donated at any level in the past year, prioritizing those in financial need. WIA Membership Fund applications close on June 30, 2024, at 11:59 PM PST.
