Support
Become a Patron: Champion Books and Ideas
The support of our Patrons helps us invite world-leading writers and thinkers, discover and platform new voices and ensures Auckland Writers Festival Waituhi o Tāmaki remains an unmissable highlight in Aotearoa New Zealand’s annual arts calendar. It’s easy to join. Select what level of support you would like – Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze. At each level, we ask you to donate a certain amount and we offer you a set of benefits. The options at each level are below. If you decide to Go Bold, this means you are doubling your support at each level.

As a registered charity, AWF is able to issue a donation receipt for donation tax credit purposes when a supporter makes a charitable or other public benefit gift of $5 or more. Each level of the AWF Patrons programme is in two parts – the benefits package (described above) and a recommended gift or donation for the relevant patron level. Please get in touch if you would like to know more detail about these two amounts. When a supporter makes a Patrons programme payment we will issue a donation receipt for the relevant donation component. We will also issue a donation receipt for any additional charitable gift of $5 or more made to AWF, outside the Patrons programme.
