Thanks to the generous support of puppeteers, friends, and the family of Arlyn Coad, an endowment fund has been established to support the cash prize that accompanies the Arlyn Award.
90% of the fund's interest is given to the Award recipient and the remaining 10% is reinvested in the endowment fund.
The Society actively seeks additional donations so the cash prize will eventually be substantial. Tax receipts are issued for all donations as the Arlyn Award Society is a registered tax exempt charity.
