Dear RNLDers,

Please note the following grant announcement.


2008-2009 Small Grants Announcement

Individuals and groups working to revitalize and maintain endangered
heritage languages are invited to apply for small grants (up to 500 USD*). 

Past awards have been made for the publication and distribution of
dictionaries, lesson books, reference books, and literary works as well
as for native speaker stipends, among other projects. 

The deadline for receipt of applications is November 30, 2008. Award
recipients agree to submit a copy of the funded work (or a description
if the project is not written). 

Past applicants are welcome to apply for a revised project. 

Please address the following in detail: 

(1) Describe the community the project serves. 

(2) Where is the language spoken and how many people speak it? 

(3) What materials are available in the language? 

(4) Describe your involvement in the language community. 

(5) Describe the project, including the objectives, timeline and other
funding received and/or applied for; describe how our small grant would
be used and how much you are requesting. 

Also include the following information:

• Name(s)
• Mailing address
• E-mail address
• Phone number
• Project location, address, and phone (if different)

Applications should be made within an e-mail (i.e., not as an
attachment) to achlf at earthlink.net. Confirmation of receipt of
application will be e-mailed within 30 days. Award recipients will be
posted in the beginning of January . 

In awarding grants, preference will be given to those projects which
most directly serve economically and educationally disadvantaged
communities and whose plans, objectives and budgets are best met by this
small award. 

* Awardees who are unable to receive the funds in a check from a US bank
drawn on US dollars may apply for up to 450 USD only.
