Request for Proposals, 2002 Endangered Language Fund
The Endangered Language Fund provides grants for language maintenance
and linguistic
field work. The work most likely to be funded is that which serves both
the native
community and the field of linguistics.

Work which has immediate applicability  to one group and more distant
application to
the other will also be considered. Publishing subventions are a low
priority,
although they will be considered .


The language involved must be in danger of   disappearing within a
generation or two.
Endangerment is a continuum, and the location on the continuum is one
factor in
our funding decisions. Eligible expenses include consultant fees, tapes,
films,
travel, etc. Grants are normally for one year periods, though extensions
may be
applied for .

We expect grants in this round to be less than $4,000 in size, and to
average about $2,000.
