Script Frenzy and Script Frenzy Young Writers Program are both projects of the Office of Letters and Light. We're a tiny 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Oakland, CA with an oversized mission to help kids and adults discover their creative potential.
Our events, Script Frenzy and National Novel Writing Month, are free and financed almost entirely through donations from participants.

Five Ways to Support Script Frenzy
1) Make a tax-deductible donation through our online Donation Station. If every Script Frenzy participant donates just $10, we'll be able to pay all our bills for the main program and the Young Writers Program. Yep: the price of a movie ticket covers a whole month of scriptwriting fun for over 10,000 people.
2) Buy a Script Frenzy t-shirt, hat, or mug in the
Script Frenzy online store.
Proceeds go directly to our programs!
3) Get sponsored by your friends, family, and your company! Walk-a-thoners do it. Marathoners do it. Now writers can do it to. Raise money for Script Frenzy and our Young Writers Program by getting your April scriptwriting adventure sponsored by friends and family. Sponsors make a tax-deductible donation to Script Frenzy in your name, the proceeds go to our programs, and you receive Script Frenzy thank-you gifts at the level of your total donation. Companies often have a matching gifts program for charitable donations; leverage your generosity with that of your employer. Head here to create your personalized fund-raising account.
We thank you, in advance, from the bottom of our hearts.
4) Use Goodsearch.com. This Yahoo-powered search engine donates a penny to the charity of your choice for every search you do. Before you start searching just put "The Office of Letters and Light" in the "Who do you Goodsearch for?" box. That will lock in Script Frenzy's parent nonprofit as the recipient of all your searches from that point forward.
Goodsearch also offers an installable toolbar to let you search directly from your browser. There are versions for users with Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari. You can download and learn more about the toolbar here, and you can go here to troubleshoot.
This costs nothing, and if every Script Frenzy participant switched to Goodsearch for April, we could pay for much of our Young Writers Program through Goodsearch funds alone.
5) Spread the word about Script Frenzy! Our mission is to get people of all ages writing! Know someone who needs a creative kick in the pants? Challenge them to write a script with us in April!
