Stella relies on the generous support of donors to achieve our ambitious goals.
Every donation is important to us and allows Stella to continue – and expand – its role as a leading voice for gender equality and cultural change in Australian literature.
From our annual Stella Prize, to our research and education initiatives – there is much work to be done. But we can’t do it without you.
Donate today to secure Stella’s future and help change the story in Australian literature.
