Fifteen years ago we woke ourselves and the entire world up to the knowledge that the Caribbean had not lost its enormous talent for literature. 

Through the annual Bocas Lit Fest – among the world’s Top 20 literary festivals, our diverse projects and good governance, our non-profit organisation has been able to instigate a revolution in the region’s literary arts that is internationally acclaimed.

T&T’s corporate sponsors made it all possible and now we need your help too as we enter the next 15 years of keeping Caribbean literature great and the writers coming through.

This can be a one-time monetary donation to the Bocas Lit Fest that will go towards fulfilling our mandate. Simply click on the donate button below – we’re grateful for whatever you can afford.

"The Bocas Lit Fest Breakthrough Fellows had the opportunity to meet in person and share our creative visions for our personal works and Caribbean literary arts…Many thanks to Bocas Lit Fest for their financial and ideological investment in emerging writers who live and write in the Caribbean on the Caribbean. Literature belongs to the common heritage of the world. Still, it is important to have the infrastructure in our region to bring forward our writers to the world."

The BLF is always seeking new ways to create opportunities for schools, writers, readers and young adults through the sponsorship of prizes, workshops, mentorship and skills labs. If you would like to be the title sponsor of a specific Bocas Lit Fest initiative, we invite you to tell us more and we could work out how to deliver your pet project where it will have the most impact and bring about change. We can take you through the development and administration of BLF projects, which are typically 3-year commitments in order to maximize the impact. If you would like to be the title sponsor of a Bocas Lit Fest literary development initiative, please click here to provide us with  more information.

In 2021, the Bocas Lit Fest will launch an Endowment Fund capitalised by donations from supporters who wish to contribute to the future sustainability of the NGO.  It will be established as a trust that will be independently and prudently managed to generate project income for generations to come while keeping the principal value intact. The fund is the perfect opportunity for patrons or philanthropists who wish to will or contribute significant funds to support the work of the BLF as an institution.

 

 

The managing director sits on the 6-member board of directors, which is responsible for the financial running of the NGO. Each year BLF files Annual Returns and its annual accounts have been externally audited since 2010. BLF is registered with the Financial Investigation Unit and is compliant with all necessary financial and legal procedures relevant to its operation. The NGO has retained nearly all its original sponsors, both cash and in kind, who have been satisfied with its management and the impact of its work.

You can trust the BLF and if you love what we do, but the commitment of a recurring annual sponsorship is not for you, we invite you to give whatever you can in whatever way you can or give a gift to someone else.
