NEA Creative Writing Fellowships
grant$25,000 federal fellowships; poetry and prose alternate years. The most significant no-strings government grant for U.S. poets.
GRANTS.
Money for poems with no entry fee attached.
Foundation grants, arts council awards, emergency funds — the money in poetry that doesn't run through a contest. Each listing carries the amount, the deadline, and who's eligible, verified against the funder's own pages rather than year-old roundups.
Grant cycles move and programs end without ceremony. The index watches so that a discontinued fund or a shifted deadline shows up here before it wastes an application.
