This year’s call for grant proposals from the U.N. Trust Fund for the Second Decade highlights funding opportunities for “education (such as language revitalization)” for Indigenous organizations or organizations working for Indigenous peoples, noting that the “Trust Fund for the Second Decade was established to promote, support and implement the objectives of the Decade [for the World’s Indigenous People]” proclaimed by the U.N. General Assembly in 2004 with the theme “Partnership for dignity and action.” Grants up to $10,000 (USD) are available for a budget period of twelve months, and are due October 1. All proposals will be reviewed by Bureau of the U.N. Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues during May 2013. Read more about this and other language revitalization funding opportunities at Cultural Survival’s new Endangered Languages Program website LanguageGathering.org on the “Find Funding” page.
