This year, Callaloo celebrates fifty years of publishing and sustaining Black literature, criticism, and art across the African Diaspora. To honor this milestone, we’re launching a simple campaign: $50 for 50.

We invite our readers, contributors, and supporters to make a one-time gift of $50—or, if you’re able, to become a monthly donor at the same level—to help sustain the next chapter of Callaloo’s history.

Your support helps make possible each new issue of the journal, along with the broader initiatives that extend Callaloo’s reach: readings, workshops, conferences, and archival preservation.

Monthly support in particular helps provide the stability that allows us to plan ambitiously and invest in long-term work. Whether you choose to give once or monthly, every contribution directly supports the future of the journal.

Thank you for helping us celebrate fifty years of Callaloo—and for helping ensure the next fifty to come.
