Nadace Český literární fond

Nadace Český literární fond (the Czech Literary Fund Foundation) is a Czech private foundation established in November 1994 as the private-law successor to the abolished state Czech Literary Fund, which had been founded in 1954 under the Ministry of Culture. Its headquarters are in Prague 2 - Vinohrady, at Pod Nuselskými schody 1721/3. The foundation is one of the few non-state alternative sources of cultural financing in the Czech Republic. The foundation supports the creation and publication of new works of value in literature, theatre, cinema, journalism, science, radio, television and entertainment arts. It operates through grants and stipends, distributing roughly 3 to 7 million Czech korunas per year. Its support areas include original Czech literature (prose, poetry, essays, theoretical works) and journalism, translations of foreign-language literature into Czech, dramatic and radio creation, film and television production, scholarly journals, and travel stipends for researchers under 35. It also contributes to the creation of new artistic and scientific projects; in relation to Wikipedia, the project supports the Library of Arts. The foundation obtains its financial resources by renting out its building, to a lesser extent through sponsorship, but mainly from income from funds invested in various investment funds. Compared with the era of the state fund, the foundation has much less money and has also lost the vast majority of its real estate, including for example Dobříš Castle, where the House of Writers was located. The foundation awards annual prizes for literature, theatre, cinema and television, scientific work, publishers and booksellers, and journalists. It also awards the Karel Havlíček Borovský Prize and two Novinářská křepelka prizes for journalists under 33. In collaboration with the Josef, Marie and Zdenka Hlávka Foundation, it also awards the Josef Hlávka Literary Prize.

Nadace Český literární fond was established in November 1994 as the private-law successor to the state Czech Literary Fund, which had been founded in 1954 under the Ministry of Culture and was abolished by Act No. 318/93 Coll. The foundation inherited the mission of supporting Czech literature and related arts but, compared with the state fund era, it operates with much less money and lost the vast majority of its real estate, including Dobříš Castle, where the House of Writers had been located. Since its founding, the foundation has functioned as one of the few non-state alternative sources of cultural financing in the Czech Republic. It provides grants and stipends, amounting to roughly 3 to 7 million Czech korunas per year, to support the publication or production of literary, theatrical, scientific, cinematic and periodical non-commercial works, and contributes to the creation of new artistic and scientific projects.
