We have so many visitors to our site each month, if enough people who enjoy our content would donate even a small amount, we could raise enough funds to cover our shortfall, and would be able to keep putting quality content like reviews, interviews, and articles online and accessible to everyone. Being an impartial source of information for writers, librarians and booksellers, bibliophiles, readers, fans, and pros is essential to our mission, and in order to keep that forefront we need your support. Printing and shipping alone cost approximately $130k per year. We don&#8217;t want to move our content behind a paywall and drop our print editions, as many other newspapers and magazine have done. Help us keep all this great content available to everyone and in print!<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Locus Science Fiction Foundation (LSFF) is dedicated to the promotion and preservation of science fiction, fantasy, and horror.<\/strong> Its central activity is the publication of <em>Locus<\/em>, the Magazine of the Science Fiction &amp; Fantasy Field and its website. LSFF is also responsible for the annual Locus Awards, first presented in 1971, to recognize excellence in science fiction and fantasy literature, and running a quarterly writers workshop. The costs of maintaining <em>Locus<\/em> extend far beyond what our subscription and advertising revenue currently cover, and your support is essential to our survival!<\/p>\n<p><strong>If mailing a donation by check, make payable to: Locus Science Fiction Foundation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Address<\/strong>: Locus Publications<br \/>\n655 13th St. #100<br \/>\nOakland CA 94612<\/p>\n<p><strong>Email<\/strong>: <a href=\"mailto:locus@locusmag.com\">locus@locusmag.com<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Phone<\/strong>: 510-339-9196<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thank you for your continued support! <\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"wp-container-4 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-container-2 wp-block-column\">\n<h4><strong>LEGACY GIVING: THE LOCUS LEGACY SOCIETY<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Legacy gifts, or planned gifts, are a substantial way to benefit an organization you believe in or value, so that the great work that you care about can continue.<\/p>\n<p>This type of giving comes in a variety of ways and allows you to customize your support for the future of Locus Science Fiction Foundation according to your interests and principles, without costing you anything during your lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>The following are samples of ways you might include Locus Science Fiction Foundation in your planned giving.
