| Title | Funding: Native Voices Endowment |
| Body | From http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-294.html The Endangered Language Fund will be managing and distributing a new $1.6 million grant program, the Native Voices Endowment. This money comes from the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Council, which received the revenues from the U.S. Mint's sale of the 2004 Lewis & Clark Commemorative Coin. Grants through this program will be available to the Native American tribes that came in contact with the Lewis and Clark Expedition between 1804-1806. The investment will be managed by the Oregon Community Foundation. It will generate an estimated $75,000 in interest each year, which will be available to enrolled tribal members, tribal government language programs, tribal community language programs and tribal schools and colleges. Proposals will be accepted for Native American language education programs, individual study by Native American language students, and research efforts to document and record Native American languages for future preservation and education. To learn more about this grant program, and to view a list of eligible tribes, please visit the Endangered Language Fund website: www.endangeredlanguagefund.org |
