The Robert E. Howard Foundation LLC began in the year 2000. They were organized to foster a better understanding of the life and works of Robert E. Howard. Goal number one is to honor his legacy as a prolific, successful, and highly skilled writer. He loved to write fantasy, regional horror, action-adventure stories, and much more. He had a true knack for spanning multiple genres with ease.

It is a non-profit organization. The Robert E. Howard Foundation has received 501(c)(3) status. Membership fees are therefore tax-deductible donations, as are other donations, monetary or otherwise. I’m not sure this goes for international memberships.
More information
Howard also loved to craft unique and dynamic characters to fill his imaginative worlds. Our foundation is here to do the following things:
- Acquire, manage, and conserve archives and collections of Howard’s work and personal items
- To conduct research for scholars, historians, fans, and others that are interested in Howard’s life and legacy.
- To promote and award young writers of the same genres with awards/scholarships
- To support Robert E. Howard Days in Cross Plains, Texas, each year.
