Support us

We rely on voluntary donations to cover 80% of our running costs.

Thanks to the support of many generous donors, we have now raised £272,000 for thecurrent year (April 2008 - March 2009). That still leaves us with £155,000 to find - just to maintain our current activities.

We also need help to develop and grow - see Plans and Projects.

Please help us in any way you can.

Sponsor a Koestler Award
In return for a regular financial commitment, we will name a Koestler Award after you or a loved-one.  The name will appear wherever the awarded artwork is published or exhibited by the Koestler Trust, and you will receive a copy of the awarded work every year, as well as any feedback from the winning offender (anonymously). 

Sponsorship prices range from £60 for a Commended Certificate in any artform to £1,000 for an Outstanding Award in an artform of your choice.  You can start sponsoring right now through our
on-line shop or click here to download our sponsorship form.
