Interfilk is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that exists entirely because of the generosity of the filking community.. Don't have an item to donate to one of our rolickingly fun Interfilk Auctions? No worries. You can still contribute to Interfilk and we've made it oh so easy. Just click on the button below (and remember that your gift is tax-deductible.)

Are you are making your donation as a gift for a friend or in the memory of a loved one? If you are, please include their name and address in the message box that will appear at the end of the donation process. It's important to us that we send the appropriate message of thanks both to you and to the beneficiary of your kindness.

Now, close your eyes now and picture the Interfilk Directors bowing to you while chanting,"We're not worthy! We're not worthy! We're..." But, honestly folks, we are very grateful for your support.

Sincerely,
The Interfilk Directors
   

Interfilk Auctions

Filk cons around the world generously set aside an hour of programming for Interfilk to conduct an auction. This is our primary method of generating the funds to send deserving Interfilk Guests to far away cons. The items auctioned are donated by filkers; the auctioning is lively and entertaining with items up for bid being run around the room by "Interfilk Wenches" (both female and male). Sometimes its just one Interfilk Wench — sometimes there's a whole passel of 'em. Every now and then an item is bid on in order to "gift" it to someone else, like the year that a hideous macramé owl dubbed Harry Hemp made its way into the auction. The lucky recipient took Harry home, washed him (several times), adorned him with an outfit, and re-donated him to the auction. Over the years, Harry has donned several new costumes, and acquired a wife and several children. As you can probably tell our auctions — thought important — are never serious affairs. Hilarity always ensues and everyone wins.

For the benefit of the conventions who like to prepare in advance (and so Interfilk Directors have access to these helpful files when traveling from filk con to filk con) we include below some of the .pdf forms for running a successful Interfilk auction:
