The Language Legacies grant program supports documentation and revitalization efforts throughout the world. It is open to community members and researchers from any country (with the exception of those who are eligible for our Native Voices Endowment (NVE) grants). An academic degree is not required, but the application must provide evidence that the applicant can achieve the stated goals. Grants are for one year and average around $2,000 (US).
The MKARL Fund Due to a generous contribution from an anonymous donor, combined with matching donations, the Endangered Language Fund is pleased to be able to expand the scope of its invited proposals through the MKARL Fund (in honor of Michael Krauss) to include work on archival initiatives and efforts. In particular, we encourage proposals that focus on the creation of archives, depositing material to archives, accessing archives, and the hosting of and/or attendance at workshops, seminars, or institutes that offer training and support on archiving activities and initiatives. Funding towards projects on languages of the Pacific Northwest Coast Due to a generous contribution from Stephen Anderson, awarded projects that focus on the following languages or language groups are eligible for supplemental funding: Wakashan, Coast Salish and Bella Coola, Tlingit, Tsimshian, and Haida. Funding from the International Phonetic Association The International Phonetic Association is interested in co-funding awards for projects that include a phonetic component, especially systematic phonetic documentation of the kind leading to Illustrations of the IPA. |
