The Medici Foundation
ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
The Literary Affairs Medici Foundation is a nonprofit organization formed by Julie Robinson and the Medici Founding Patrons. Our mission is to create and support literary programs that foster empathy and explore the human experience. We believe that by making books available, increasing reading proficiency and developing critical thinking and leadership skills, at risk youth in under-served communities can improve their educational and professional potential leading to a better quality of life.
THE LITERARY AFFAIRS MEDICI BOOK CLUB PRIZE
The Literary Affairs Medici Foundation will continue the Literary Affairs tradition of awarding yearly The Medici Book Club Prize. This National Literary prize is to recognize a distinguished work of fiction that has inspired thoughtful conversation and contributed to a deeper understanding of the human experience. The $5,000 award is the first annual national prize given to acknowledge the tremendous impact that book club selections have on readers and to spotlight the transformative power of great works of literature.
