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.

Travel grants
Literary institutions, universities and publishers can apply for
subsidies towards the travel costs of authors taking part in literary
programmes and/or promotional activities in connection with translated
works.
Writer-in-residence
The Foundation also organises writer-in-residence programmes in
which an author lectures at a foreign university for a certain period.
Travel and accommodation expenses (including grants) incurred by the
writer-in-residence are subsidised. Currently the NLPVF funds
programmes in London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Budapest, Ann Arbor and
Paramaribo.
About
The Foundation cooperates with foreign publishers, book fairs and literary institutes to organize occasional major literary events abroad which present Dutch authors and their work.
