Two Grants

Several years ago I formed the Literary Freedom Project, http://literaryfreedom.org, a non-profit arts organization that publishes Mosaic Literary Magazine, http://mosaicmagazine.org; as well as develops curriculum based on the content of each issue; and hosts the Reverse Festival, http://www.reversefestival.com/06.html, an annual literary arts event. All these efforts require funding. Here are two upcoming grants that I'm applying for. You may also want to apply.

NYSCA: deadline April 1

The Literary Magazine Publication category offers support to noncommercial literary magazines. Publishers must principally publish poetry, fiction, drama, or literary (creative) nonfiction. The Program welcomes new applicants to these categories.

On-line publications will be reviewed separately from print publications, and are strongly advised to consult with Program staff well before the March registration deadline.

Grants in these categories are awarded on a multi-year basis.

NEH: deadline April 2

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) invite applications to the Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants program. This program is designed to encourage innovations in the digital humanities. By awarding relatively low-dollar grants during the planning stages, the goal is to identify projects that are particularly innovative and have the potential to make a positive impact on the humanities.
