Support the Press

Support Our Mission

Harvard University Press is a leading publisher of works in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. Established in 1913, our mission is to advance knowledge and present preeminent authors in established fields—as well as emerging, younger voices in new areas of inquiry—to a wide global readership.

Contributions to the Press support our mission by defraying costs of individual publications and assisting in the funding of long-term print and digital projects. You can make a donation to Harvard University Press at any time via Harvard University’s secure online giving form.

The Authors Fund

Through the newly established HUP Authors Fund, our authors have the opportunity to contribute their royalties to help support the works of their colleagues in the academy. The Fund will be used to help pay for publishing important scholarly works, often by first-time authors—books that typically do not earn back their publication costs.

Assignment of royalties to this worthwhile cause has the added benefit of reducing the administrative burden on the Press, as well as the tax paperwork of our authors. Contributors to the Authors Fund may opt to continue to receive annual statements accounting their book sales and the amount that has been contributed to the Authors Fund. Publications supported by the program will be listed on our website, as will the names of benefactors. In addition, each book published with support from the Fund will be acknowledged as such on the copyright page.

If you wish to contribute your royalties to the Authors Fund to help support your fellow academic authors, please complete the HUP Royalty Assignment Form (PDF) and return it to the Royalty Department by email, mail, or fax:
