"The Giller Prize was founded in 1994 by Jack Rabinovitch in honour of his late wife, literary journalist Doris Giller, who passed away from cancer the year before. The award recognized excellence in Canadian fiction – long format or short stories – and endowed a cash prize annually of $25,000.00, the largest purse for literature in the country.... The purse increased from $25,000 to $50,000, grew again in 2008 to $70,000, and increased to $140,000 in 2014." The Prize promotes Canadian literature.
