>     Dear Listers,
>     The Endangered Language Fund is pleased to announce our grant
> program for 2001.  Below is our Request for Proposals, which gives
> complete information on how to apply for a grant.  Please pass this
> along to interested parties who may not be on the list.
>     The ELF is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to the
> maintenance and documentation of endangered languages.  Our grant
> program is made possible by the generosity of our members.  All
> readers are invited to become members of ELF.  Contact the address
> given below.

>       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.
>
> NOTE:  At least two awards will be made for work on
> languages in the state of OKLAHOMA.  Language communities there
> and researchers working on those languages are particularly
> encouraged to apply.
>
