APPLICATIONS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED
LANGUAGE LEGACIES
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 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.
