Prize Circle Patron

The Women's Prize Trust supports readers most in-need through free resources, free or subsidised access to events, and promotional material for libraries and bookshops. With a donation of £5000 and over, you can help us enable access to great writing by women for everyone and build diverse audiences for live and virtual literature events.

Your gift is a donation, which for UK tax-payers Gift Aid can be claimed against, adding to its value*. In recognition of your support, we will be delighted to acknowledge you as a Women’s Prize Circle Patron on our website. We’d also like to invite you to join us through unique invitations and opportunities to explore our work. These include:

• Two tickets to the sell-out shortlist readings
• An invitation to the glamorous award ceremony, where the winner is announced
• An invitation to an annual patrons’ event, an opportunity to meet the judges, authors and trustees
• Exclusive invitations to other events
• A complimentary set of the shortlisted books
• Association with our reader support outreach
• Quarterly digital updates on the impact of the programmes you have funded, and be ‘in-the-know’ with our latest news and campaigns
• A thank-you for your generous support on our website

*Each level of support includes a benefits portion, which represents the cost of the scheme to the Trust, and a suggested donation. The benefits can be purchased separately at the stated price. The remaining balance is a suggested donation and is eligible for Gift Aid, which means we can claim 25p for every £1 you donate. For the Prize Circle Patron level, the split is: donation £4720, benefits £280.
