SBC Champion of Books
Diana Koh Fund
The SBC Champion of Books is the highest class of donor level acknowledged by the Singapore Book Council (SBC). This distinctive title is awarded to an esteemed individual or organisation who has made a generous monetary donation or sponsorship to SBC, in strong support for the council’s programmes.
For more than 50 years, SBC, a non-profit organisation and registered charity founded in 1968, has been continually organising festivals, awards, programmes, book projects and literary collaborations, amongst others, to nurture Singapore’s literary scene, and to foster new creative and career opportunities for writers. These efforts are only sustainable with the ongoing aid from philanthropists, corporate sponsors, foundations and governmental bodies.
The SBC Champion of Books is awarded in gratitude and honour of the benevolent donor who has come forward with their invaluable contribution to support SBC’s enduring vision in developing Singapore’s books and literary arts sector. We thank you, wholeheartedly.
