Nominations are officially OPEN for the Achates Philanthropy Prize 2026! 📣🎉
As headline sponsors, we at Achates could not be prouder to support the next round of this incredible initiative, delivered by the Cultural Philanthropy Foundation.
The Prize is all about celebrating the incredible impact of first-time supporters in the UK's cultural and heritage sectors. If your organisation has a new donor or corporate partner, this is your moment to celebrate them, and put yourself in the running for a £5,000 prize pot.
This year, we are looking for nominations across two categories:
🏅 The Individual Philanthropy Award: Celebrating individuals or trusts making their first gift to a cultural organisation, at any level and across all art forms.
💼 The Corporate Support Award: Recognising first-time support from businesses, whether through financial backing, in-kind support, skills sharing, or advocacy.

Give your first-time donors the recognition they deserve and help amplify the amazing work your organisation does.
