Donate to Funds That Support Particular Activities

MLA funds help defray the cost of convention travel for graduate students and underemployed members, support advocacy on behalf of contingent faculty members, promote the study and teaching of language and literature, and much more.

Learn more about donor acknowledgment, matching contributions, and planned giving.

Contributors who donate $200 or more will be listed on the MLA Web site and in the Presidential Address program at the annual convention, and those who donate $500 or more or $1,000 or more will be listed in separate sections acknowledging their generosity.

If your institution will be matching your contribution and has forms that require information from the MLA, please send them to [email protected] or fax them to 646 576-5160.
