IWA Fundraiser 2026

2026 IWA English Book Fair for Charity

Each year, the IWA collects funds for selected local charities through its Annual English Book Fair. You can see the charities we have supported in the past here.

In 2025, we raised 1,500 euros for Kinder.Leben auf Zeit, an organisation that accompanies and supports children and teenagers with life-threatening illnesses throughout Styria. 

We will collect funds for a selected charity at our next English Book Fair in October 2026 and donate to Mafalda!

You can also click here to donate to our IWA charity fund – everything you contribute goes to a good cause!
