The Metamorphosis campaign
Milkweed Editions raised $1.6 million dollars in the Metamorphosis campaign, which concluded in 2015. $1.1 million was raised to transform the press for the digital era of publishing and to increase cash reserves, and $500,000 was raised to create the Author Advance Fund, a revolving fund dedicated solely to providing advances for authors.
