Lira Fonds
Funding for contributions of Dutch-language authors to public events abroad

The Lira Fund Foundation was established in 1990 with the aim of promoting, developing, and utilizing Dutch literary, literary-dramatic, and musical-dramatic works, consisting of Dutch texts or texts based on them. The fund invests in and improves the position of writers, translators, and adaptors. It does so by subsidizing contributions from professional writers, translators, and adaptors to public events and projects in the fields of literature and theater. This also includes readings of their own work by Dutch-language authors abroad.
