The '''RBC Taylor Prize''' (2000–2020), formerly known as the '''Charles Taylor Prize''', was a Canadian literary award, presented by the '''Charles Taylor Foundation''' to the best Canadian work of literary non-fiction. It was named for Charles P. B. Taylor, a noted Canadian historian and writer. Instituted in 2000, the 2020 prize was the final year the prize was awarded.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rbctaylorprize.ca/press_releases/rbctp_prize_to_conclude_news_release.pdf |title=RBC Taylor Prize Concludes |work=rbctaylorprize.ca |author= |date=November 21, 2019 |accessdate=November 22, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=van Koeverden |first=Jane |date=2019-11-21 |title=RBC Taylor Prize, an annual $30K Canadian nonfiction prize, is ending after 2020 |url=https://www.cbc.ca/books/rbc-taylor-prize-an-annual-30k-canadian-nonfiction-prize-is-ending-after-2020-1.5367111 |access-date=2022-03-18 |website=CBC}}</ref> The prize was originally presented every two years until 2004, and became an annual award from 2004 onwards. The monetary value of the award increased over the years. The final award in 2020 had a monetary value of $30,000.
The award adopted its present name in December 2013, when RBC Wealth Management was announced as the new corporate sponsor.<ref name=rbc>[http://www.timescolonist.com/entertainment/charles-taylor-prize-now-known-as-rbc-taylor-prize-adds-secondary-award-1.752028 "Charles Taylor Prize now known as RBC Taylor Prize; adds secondary award"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141016194034/http://www.timescolonist.com/entertainment/charles-taylor-prize-now-known-as-rbc-taylor-prize-adds-secondary-award-1.752028 |date= October 16, 2014}}. ''Victoria Times Colonist'', December 9, 2013.</ref> In addition, under RBC's sponsorship the award added a second $10,000 award for an emerging Canadian literary non-fiction writer between the ages of 18 and 35, to be chosen by the winner of the main award. This award was presented for the first time at the 2014 ceremony.<ref name=rbc />
In 2018 the new RBC Taylor Prize Emerging Writers Mentorship Program was unveiled. This was a professional development program designed to support the next generation of Canadian writers and was part of the RBC Taylor Prize Emerging Writers Award, a distinction that was given annually to a Canadian author whose work embodies the pursuit of excellence in literary non-fiction.
The mentorship program was made available to five Canadian non-fiction writers, who were selected in partnership with a national network of university and college writing programs. These students were paired with the 2018 RBC Taylor Prize shortlisted authors, who would help support their career development and growth.
In 2020, the organizers announced that the 2020 award would be the final presentation of the award.<ref>Jane van Koeverden, [https://www.cbc.ca/books/rbc-taylor-prize-an-annual-30k-canadian-nonfiction-prize-is-ending-after-2020-1.5367111 "RBC Taylor Prize, an annual $30K Canadian nonfiction prize, is ending after 2020"].

==RBC Taylor Emerging Writer Award== The RBC Taylor Emerging Writer Award was instituted for the first time in 2014. The award was presented to an emerging writer selected by the winner of that year's primary award, and consisted of $10,000 and a mentorship from the writer who made the selection.
In 2018, the RBC Taylor Foundation also announced the creation of a mentorship program for writers who had not yet published their first non-fiction manuscript.
