PEN American Center to Give Grants to Writers Affected by Hurricane Sandy
November 26, 2012
The PEN American Center will be providing monetary grants to writers who were affected by Hurricane Sandy. Writers can submit applications to try to obtain one of these grants. At the moment, the organization is also hoping for donors to come forward and support this emergency fund.
"The PEN Writers’ Emergency Fund is an emergency fund for professional—published or produced—writers in acute, emergency financial crisis. Depending on the situation, the Fund gives grants of up to $2,000. The maximum amount is given only under especially dire circumstances and when monies are available."
