Writers' Trust is a nonprofit organization that champions Canadian writers at every stage of their careers. We give them money, recognition, and valuable time and space to create transformative work.
Writers’ Trust recognizes Canadian writers through prizes for single works and for remarkable literary careers. We award these prestigious prizes annually for outstanding achievement in writing.
Our slate of programming aids both emerging and established writers. Through a writers’ retreat, emergency grants, and events, we enable writers to rise to their full potential.
From ballrooms to living rooms, we bring together the Canadian writing, business, arts, and political communities to honour and raise money for our country’s finest literary voices.
“The Writers’ Trust has done so much in the last 40 years to enrich the literary community of Canada. I know I have been encouraged and sustained by its generous support, and for that I cannot thank you enough.”
Since 1976, Writers’ Trust of Canada has been a pillar of the Canadian literary community. Contributions from individuals, corporations, foundations, and estates ensure that we can continue to support Canadian writers and writing for years to come.
