About this opportunity
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is offering Literature Fellowships: Translation Projects grants for FY2026. This opportunity seeks to support the translation of specific works of prose, poetry, or drama from other languages into English. The NEA is particularly interested in projects that feature languages, perspectives, and writers that are underrepresented in English, as well as work that has not previously been translated. Individual U.S. citizens or permanent residents who meet certain publication requirements are eligible to apply. The application deadline is January 16, 2025.
Grant amounts range from $10,000 to $25,000. This funding is provided under the NEA's Promotion of the Arts Grants to Organizations and Individuals program (CFDA 45.024), which supports a wide range of arts-related projects, events, and initiatives across the United States. There are no specific quantity or timeline requirements, and the place of performance is not explicitly stated.
Synopsis
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) supports projects for the translation of specific works of prose, poetry, or drama from other languages into English through fellowships to published translators. The work to be translated should be of interest for its literary excellence and merit. We encourage translation projects that feature languages, perspectives, and writers that are not well represented in English, as well as work that has not previously been translated into English. The NEA is committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and fostering mutual support for the diverse beliefs and values of all individuals and groups. Individual U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. who meet specific publication requirements are eligible to apply. An individual may submit only one application for FY 2026 Literature Fellowships funding. Grant amounts range from $10,000 to $25,000.
