Language grants from EarthAction Network

The EarthAction Network has announced a new funding opportunity for indigenous languages. The Endangered Languages Program aims to support preservation and revival of those indigenous languages which are threatened with extinction and which are vital to indigenous cultures of Siberia and North/Central America. Grants range up to $3000.

According to the request for proposals, "ELP will look for a few, approximately 10, good-quality projects with low overhead for which we can make a difference with our funding. Some of these projects may already be established, but some may not. We are soliciting proposals both from established projects and from new initiatives. The projects will be chosen primarily according to the level of urgency to protect the language and the likely effectiveness of the proposed projects."

The deadline for proposal submission is May 16, 2010. Application information can be found on the ELP website.
