Lannan Foundation
Lannan Foundation is a family foundation dedicated to cultural freedom, diversity and creativity through projects which support exceptional contemporary artists and writers, as well as inspired Native activists in rural indigenous communities. Lannan Foundation established its Literary Program in 1987 to support the creation of exceptional poetry and prose written originally in the English language, and to increase the audience for contemporary literature. Through its annual awards and fellowships program, the foundation honors and promotes writers and poets whose work reflects and challenges our understanding of the world. The Literary Program also makes grants to nonprofit organizations engaged in creating, promoting, and widening the appreciation of literature. For many years, the Literary Program also produced and distributed the Lannan Literary Video Library.
