七家基金会联手设文学艺术基金，五年至少投5,000万美元支持非营利文学机构，11月10日起开放申请
一个由七家慈善基金会组成的联盟10月28日宣布设立文学艺术基金（Literary Arts Fund）：福特基金会、Hawthornden基金会、Lannan基金会、麦克阿瑟基金会、梅隆基金会、诗歌基金会与一家匿名基金会参与其中。该基金由梅隆基金会发起，计划在未来五年内至少拨款5,000万美元，支持长期资金不足的美国非营利文学艺术领域，并计划继续募资，项目持续至2031年。
该基金将通过年度公开申请，向支持当代诗歌、小说、创意非虚构与混合文体作家的美国非营利或财政赞助型文学机构与出版社拨款，首轮公开申请自11月10日开始。
联盟援引Candid收集的数据称，文学是美国获得资助最少的艺术门类：2023年全美50亿美元艺术资助中，文学仅占1.9%。该基金为国家公民创新中心的一项财政赞助项目。

Seven Foundations Launch Literary Arts Fund: At Least $50 Million Over Five Years for Nonprofit Literary Arts, Open Call From November 10
A coalition of seven charitable foundations — the Ford Foundation, Hawthornden Foundation, Lannan Foundation, John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, Mellon Foundation, Poetry Foundation and an anonymous foundation — announced on October 28 the launch of the Literary Arts Fund, an effort to boost the nonprofit literary arts field in the United States. Initiated by the Mellon Foundation, the fund will distribute at least $50 million over the next five years, with continued fundraising planned, concluding in 2031.
The fund will award grants to U.S.-based nonprofit or fiscally sponsored literary organizations and publishers that support contemporary writers of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction or hybrid literary forms, through an annual open call beginning November 10.
The coalition cited Candid data showing literature is the least-supported artistic discipline in the United States, receiving only 1.9% of the $5 billion in arts grants awarded in 2023. The Literary Arts Fund is a fiscally sponsored project of the National Center for Civic Innovation.
