Introduction

To support the production of literary work.  CNCF has a long and dynamic history of publication, with works spanning history, poetry, academia, fiction, and non-fiction works.  The Literary Grant supports CNCF’s continued dedication to original literary works.

 

Scope

The Literary Grant is designed to provide support for the development and presentation of a literary work by any category of creative worker.  A presentation of the work in the form of a reading, lecture, or other knowledge-sharing platform is expected.  The recipient is awarded $5,000 in direct funding to complete the proposed project. In addition, this grant includes the use of the Mind’s Eye Centre or studio theatre if needed for meetings, lectures, workshops, etc., without additional costs for venue and staffing. Creative workers, therefore, have access to professional facilities without incurring venue costs. The grantee’s biography and their project will be featured across CNCF media platforms to help support visibility for the work and the creative professionals involved.  Excerpts will be featured in the Foundations journal. This grant represents an investment in literature in the Cayman Islands.
