While MWSA is a member-funded organization, we have also received sponsorships and donations in the past. Some donations have been from members, and some from organizations. We would like to thank and recognize the following sponsors during 2024.

• The Phillip Morris International (PMI) Community Foundation program - $738.00 to support our Write Your Story Workshop in San Diego

• AutoCrit online editing program (https://autocrit.com) - $360 value for two Annual Memberships in support of MWSA’s Buckaroo Auction

• Rob Lofthouse, owner of Hold The Line Press, LLC (https://holdthelinepress.com) - $250 value for five hours of writer coaching in support of MWSA’s Buckaroo Auction

• Sue Rushford Editorial Services (https://suerushford.com) - $500 value for 50% off an editing job

• Bowkers (https://www.myidentifiers.com/ ) - 15% discount for MWSA members

We will be requesting donations again in 2025 to support our Buckaroo Auction, which is a way we reward our volunteers for their work throughout the year in the form of Buckaroos. Watch for the calls in eBlasts, or you can always reach out to me, MWSA’s Vice President and Buckaroo Auction Chair at vp@mwsa.co, if you have services or items you would like to donate.

Also, MWSA has a donate button on our website, available 24/7/365 at this link: Make a donation to MWSA.
