Details:
The Poetry Foundation acknowledges that the art, ideas, and labor of BIPOC people are integral to its work and poetry as an art form and that those contributions have gone underrecognized. Honoring the legacy of past BIPOC poets and making space for living and future poets are critical to the Foundation’s evolution.
Funding Information
Grants range in size from $10,000-$100,000, and all grants are for a 12-month period.
Eligibility Criteria
- Equity in Verse Grants are only available to US-based nonprofit organizations. There are two types of support in this category: general operating support and program support.
- To apply for general operating support, you must be a BIPOC-led poetry nonprofit organization or a BIPOC-led literary arts nonprofit organization with a significant focus on poetry. If you do not meet these qualifications, you will need to apply for program support. If you are a non-profit organization with multiple types of poetry programs applying for program support, your application can include a request for support for multiple programs.
