Sponsor Get Lit!
As part of Eastern Washington University, we receive office space, computers, partial funding for salary and benefits for one-full time staff position, and historically, a stipend for one graduate student assistant. We are grateful to EWU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences for that support. Every year we seek sponsorship from university programs and departments, community partners, local businesses, and individual donors. These sponsorships help pay for all festival expenses including author honorariums, venues, marketing campaigns, posters, bookmarks, festival merch, and more.
Please contact us at getlit@ewu.edu if you are interested in sponsoring an event through time, space, or funds. Your organization will receive recognition and thanks on our website, full schedule, social media platforms, and in-person during headlining event introductions.

Get Lit! Programs exists because of the generosity of the Spokane community over the past 28 years, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Every year, we have so much to celebrate: our incredible staff of graduate & undergraduate students, our loyal volunteers, the local businesses & foundations who support us, the local writers who donate their time & talent, and so many others.
