Alice Day & LCSNA Giving Day, July 2-5, 2022
Thank you to all of our donors for your generosity this year!
Thirty three people finished the 42-hour fundraising race and raised $3533 to support LCSNA publications, meeting, scholars, special programs, and other Society work. Although we did not meet the goal of 84 donors for this event, the contributions made on LCSNA Giving Day allows the LCSNA to remain in contact with our members and friends and share knowledge and new Carroll scholarship.

Still Time to Donate
When you donate online by choosing the “Unrestricted” designation option, you are supporting projects, including: the Knight Letter, the Society’s high-quality journal; our popular virtual monthly events; semi-annual meetings that are free and open to the public, and publications or members discounts.
This year we are focused on raising funds for videoconferencing/livestreaming webcasting technology that allows us to host our semi-annual meetings online and in-person simultaneously. This hybrid technology will allow us to visit [talk!] with people in depth and continue to share our events and content with all of our remote Carrollian friends.
There are additional options for directing your donation: the Stan Marx Fund (supports research on Carroll); the Maxine and David Schaefer Memorial Children’s Fund (supports a community reading program for elementary school students); and the University of Southern California’s Wonderland Award (provides an opportunity and support for university students to produce new creative and scholarly works related to Lewis Carroll).
With your help, the LCSNA will be able to promote Lewis Carroll and Alice to the world.

About the Funds
Maxine and David Schaefer Memorial Children’s Fund
In honor of two of the founding members of the LCSNA, Maxine and David Schaefer, money contributed to the fund is used for a literary outreach program for children. Twice yearly, in conjunction with an LCSNA meeting, members present a reading from either Alice’s Adventure’s in Wonderland or Through the Looking-Glass books at a local elementary school, and then facilitate a lively question & answer session with the students.

Stan Marx Memorial Fund
The Stan Marx Memorial Fund was established in the name of the founder and initial driving force of the LCSNA. The money is used to sponsor continuing study of Lewis Carroll, supporting travel, research, scholarly presentations and publications.
USC Wonderland Award
The University of Southern California (USC) Wonderland Award is part of an annual multidisciplinary competition, open to students from all California universities, who transform the life and writing of Lewis Carroll into new creative and scholarly works. Since 2005, approximately 500 students from 20 universities have submitted short stories, film and screenplays, animation pieces, games, novellas, essays, book art, performance installations, art and art installations, and “curiosities.” Four volumes of student work have been published by the USC Doheny Library. The LCSNA funds the 1st prize winner with a cash award.
General Operations Fund
This fund helps us pay for operational expenses like meeting rooms, speaker honoraria, publications, and the other day-to-day business expenses we incur in the course of keeping the LCSNA running smoothly. This fund is easily overlooked, but we can’t do without it!
