The Academy of American Poets announced today a new multi-year funding opportunity for literary organizations that present or serve poets, or incorporate poetry as part of their programming. Eligible organizations will be able to apply for two-year grants of $5,000–$25,000 each year, or $10,000–$50,000 total, to support capacity-building initiatives. A grant from the Hawthornden Foundation, originally founded in 1983 by the late Drue Heinz, makes this program possible.
Applications will be accepted online from September 12 through October 28, 2022.
