The Lena Dunham Fund for Girls Write Now

A Tribute and Lifeline to the Next Generation of Creative Minds at Girls Write Now

The Lena Dunham Fund for Girls Write Now is an initiative that invests in writers learning the craft of telling the truth about their lives. This is a moment when more young people than ever are reckoning publicly with mental health, performance, and the cost of being seen. When a writer puts down what they can’t say out loud, something shifts. For the writer. For their readers. For the culture that hears them. Your gift catalyzes that change—at scale, and across years.
