Patron Categories and Benefits

BECOME A PATRON OF PEN CANADA!

PEN Canada Patrons are the foundation of the work we do. Your support allows us to fulfill our mission: to celebrate literature, defend freedom of expression, and support writers whose writing places them in peril.

Your donation helps free persecuted writers from prison and exiled writers make new lives in Canada. It supports PEN’s security training for at-risk journalists in the Americas and our advocacy for imprisoned writers around the world.

In recognition of those generous gifts, our Patrons are invited to intimate salons with celebrated writers and they receive special recognition in our annual report and on our website.

Annual and monthly giving recognition levels:

  • Silver Patron $2,500 – $4,999/yr (min. $208.34/month)
  • Gold Patron $5000 – $9,999/yr (min. $416.67/month)
  • Platinum Patron –$10,000+/ yr (min. $833.34/month)
