"Humanity cannot forget its dreamers; it cannot let their ideals fade and die; it lives in them; it knows them as the realities which it shall one day see and know."
— James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

A foundation born from a novel
The Watchmaker Foundation was created out of a deep belief: that the world is made richer by its creators, and that financial hardship should never be the reason a gift goes unshared.
As a volunteer-run 501(c)(3), we direct 100% of every dollar raised directly to our mission — sponsoring creators across disciplines including music, literature, visual art, architecture, and more.
Our work is funded through the sale of The Watchmaker and through direct donations. Every purchase and every gift makes a difference.
