in cooperation with the

invites applications for the

Objective:
To support the growth and deepening excellence of the literary arts in Texas by providing opportunities for Texas-based literature organizations to expand their operations and enhance the public’s participation in literary arts.
Grants
Grants:
An organization may only apply for operating assistance. Operating grants requesting up to $4,000 require a dollar for dollar match for those organizations whose budget is under $1,000,000. Organizations with budgets over $1,000,000 require each grant dollar to be matched with two dollars from other sources. Grants are limited to literature-based organizations, or those where writing is primary to their mission.
Grants Eligibility:
Tax-exempt, nonprofit 501(C)(3) organizations are eligible. Organizations without 501(c)(3) status must apply under the umbrella of a 501(c)(3) organization. Groups that manage literature programs as a primary focus of their overall structure may apply for operating assistance. Organizations must have their center of operations in Texas. Any organization (regardless of tax status) applying for a grant must have been in active service for at least one year prior to the date of the application.
