Donate to the CBCA

CBCA Awards Foundation

Without the CBCA Awards Foundation there would be no monetary prizes for authors and illustrators of Winning and Honour Books in the Children's Book of the Year Awards. Receiving a cheque is an enormous boost to the creators of these wonderful Australian children's books.

In 2005, ten years of hard work resulted in $1 million which now earns interest to fund these awards. The CBCA permanently acknowledges Benefactors ($20,000.00 and over) and Major Donors ($5000.00 and over).

Help keep this dream alive. Send your contribution on the form below.

The CBCA Awards Foundation is a tax deductible fund listed on the Register of Cultural Organisations under subdivision 30-B of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. Donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.
