Helping The Malone Society to Survive and Thrive
As an independent charity, the Society receives no government funding and we are reliant in the main on membership fees, royalties from sales of our volumes and some interest from investments. Students of literature, humanities scholars in all fields, librarians and all book-lovers, amateurs and professionals, benefit from the Society’s activities.
The costs of running the Society, involving an annual publication, plus offering research opportunities, prizes, fellowships and financial support of dramatic events and conferences, substantially exceed our income. To meet these commitments and secure the Society for future generations we must look beyond normal avenues of income, towards legacies and gifts, to help continue our work.
