Here’s how YOU can help.
How does your money help?
By funding our work, every contribution helps us to provide highly subsidised places on our Pathways Into Children’s Publishing programmes, which are for diverse and disadvantaged creatives who face barriers to accessing the industry and achieving their ambitions.
Here’s how it works:
- It costs an average £15,000 per place on a two-year Pathways programme
- The subsidy we offer per place is around 80% or £12,000 – which comes from a mix of grants, sponsorships and donations
- This means each Pathways mentee pays just 20% or £3,000 – to take part in this world-class, career-changing opportunity
- So with 40 mentees per Pathways programme, we have to raise around £450,000 to subsidise those 40 places
- To provide 120 places on our planned Pathways programmes 2025-2027 our fundraising target is £1,350,000
Take part in our quarterly prize draw
Every quarter starting from July 2024 we’ll be offering very special prizes from our children’s writer, illustrator and publisher friends via Crowdfunder. It’s simple – you just make a donation to buy a prize draw ticket and we’ll let you know the winner when it ends!
