The Endangered Language Fund will be collecting proposals for our 
annual Language Legacies grant program. The Language Legacies 
grant program supports language documentation and revitalization 
efforts throughout the world. It is open to community members, 
language activists, and academic researchers from any country. Grants 
awarded are for one year and average around $2,500 (US).  

The deadline for applications is April 20, 2012. For more information 
about the RFP, please visit:

In addition to our long-standing Bill Bright Award, we are pleased to 
announce another special emphasis grant, the Charles R. Isenberg 
Award for the Documentation of Languages of the Former Soviet 
Union, named for the late Charles R. Isenberg (1944-1997), a 
professor of Russian literature at Wesleyan University and Reed 
College. The award will support documentation and maintenance of 
languages spoken in the former Soviet Union. We also encourage 
young people to find creative new ways to use their traditional 
languages, including incorporating them into arts projects including 
fiction, playwriting, music composition, and performance art. All 
proposals for work on languages in the former Soviet Union will 
automatically be considered for this award.

Thank you,

Alice Nicholls (Endangered Language Fund)
