grant funding for translations

[Brewer, Michael]

Here are a few that looked relevant.  There are many more that are
eligible, I believe, only to particular audiences (Canadian citizens,
for example).  There are also a lot of "prizes" for superior
translations.  These seemed to support the work of translating rather
than awarding translations already done.

Translation Projects

National Foundation for the Arts and the Humanities
National Endowment for the Arts (NEA)
Literature Fellowships

Through fellowships to published translators of exceptional talent, the
Arts Endowment supports projects that involve the specific translation
of prose, poetry, or drama from other languages into English. For the
past several years, Translation Projects have operated on a two-year
cycle with fellowships in prose available one year and fellowships in
poetry available the next. This year, prose, poetry, and drama all are
eligible for translation.

Grants

Witter Bynner Foundation for Poetry

- Translation and the Process of Translation
The translation of poetry from languages not currently available to
English readers and poetry which has not been translated or merits a new
translation. Projects, which explore the art and the process of
translation, are also encouraged. The foundation does not fund
publications of poetry-in-translation; it rather makes it a priority to
give grants to individual translators. Samples from the proposed
translation should accompany the application.

Max Hayward Fellowship in Russian Literature

St. Antony's College invites applications for the Max Hayward Fellowship
in Russian Literature for the academic year 2006-2007. The holder may
engage in research, criticism, editing, translation, preparation of a
thesis for publication, or other forms of literary scholarship, broadly
defined, which may embrace themes on literature, culture, and society.

Fellowships for University Teachers

National Foundation for the Arts and the Humanities
National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)
Division of Research Programs

Projects supported by National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)
Fellowships cover a variety of activities. They may contribute to
scholarly knowledge, to the advancement of teaching, or to the general
public's understanding of the humanities. Such work might eventually
produce scholarly articles, a monograph on a specialized subject, a
book-length treatment of a broad topic, an archaeological site report, a
translation, an edition, or other scholarly tool in either traditional
or electronic formats.

Dear Anna, 

If you don't mind sharing some of these, it would be greatly
