Description
1) Objective
The Khyentse Foundation (KF) was founded in 2001 to support all traditions of Buddhist study and practice. The Foundation has since supported individuals and institutions in more than 30 countries and has directly affected the lives of people around the world. The Foundation activities include major text preservation and translation projects, support for traditional monastic colleges in Asia, a worldwide scholarship and awards program, academic development of Buddhist studies in major universities, training and development for Buddhist leaders and teachers, Buddhist education for children, support for individual study and retreats, and more. Their support is non-sectarian and global, for institutions and individuals worldwide.
Ashoka grants have the following characteristics: Many people are seeking ways to preserve and promote the Dharma and working to increase Dharma activity around the world in creative and long-lasting ways. For requests that fall outside the criteria for Buddhist Studies Scholarships, Individual Practice Grants, or other awards, Khyentse Foundation has created a fund for special project grants. This program identifies and supports organizations and individuals working to increase Dharma activity around the world.
The Ashoka Grants Committee considers applications from a broad array of organizations and individuals who are actively engaged in projects related to Buddhism. They accept applications from Buddhist teachers, students, scholars, translators, practitioners, retreatants, from all traditions anywhere in the world.
3) Location
Actions can take place in various countries worldwide.
4) Budget
Ashoka Grants are awarded based on the strength of the proposal, and the scope and needs of the project.
5) Application
KF accepts Ashoka Grant applications twice a year, from January 15 – February 15 and from July 15 – August 15. Application templates can be downloaded from their website. Completed applications forms can be submitted to the following e-mail: grants(a)khyentsefoundation.org.
