Dutch Foundation for Literature

From 1 January 2010, the Foundation for the Production and Translation of Dutch Literature (NLPVF) and the Fonds voor de Letteren (FvdL) have legally merged to form The Dutch Foundation For Literature. With the support of the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, this new Foundation will continue the tasks of the two earlier bodies in supporting writers and translators and in promoting Dutch literature abroad. It will act with renewed vigour in the fields of international translations, quality non-fiction (original Dutch and translated) and new developments in literature and the publishing profession.
