The Suzanne Bellamy Travel Fund, established by the IVWS members in 2022, supports the travel of IVWS members to the Annual International Conference on Virginia Woolf: an affiliated but independent event that the IVWS has supported since 1991. Each year, the IVWS will match up to $1500.00 in donations to the fund, which it hopes will grow well beyond the $3000.00 goal we project. The fund is named in honor of Suzanne Bellamy (1948–2022), an artist and Woolf scholar, who passed away on June 21st, 2022—a little over a week after the 2022 Annual Conference on Virginia Woolf.
