Forester Makes Unprecedented $1M Donation to Lambda

Lambda Literary has received a gift commitment of $1 million, the largest in the organization’s history, from author and philanthropist Chuck Forester. The donation will establish the “Forester Fellowship,” an annual, juried cash prize to a promising LGBTQ writer.

The fellowship will be the largest cash prize in the world offered to LGBTQ writers and follows a series of other cash prizes that Lambda Literary already offers including the Lambda Literary Emerging Writer Award and the Dr. James Duggins Outstanding Novelist Prize. 

“I can’t think of a better way of thanking the community for what its writers have given me than by providing a fellowship to a promising LGBT writer,” said Forester. “I’ll be joining other generous donors who agree with me that our books tell us about who we are and where we come from as they celebrate our beautiful peculiarities.”
