And we will preserve you, Russian speech,
The great Russian word.
We will keep you free and pure,
And pass you on to our grandchildren,
Free from bondage forever! Anna Akhmatova



Grants and Competitions

Main  /  Grants and Competitions

A primary focus of the Russkiy Mir Foundation is providing grants and sponsoring competitions in support of the Russian language, Russian culture, and organizations representing the Russian world. We work directly with Russian organizations based outside Russia, those affiliated with the MAPRYAL (International Organization of Teachers of Russian and Russian Literature), and other non-governmental organizations operating through a variety of diaspora groups, education centers, universities and schools where Russian is taught. Our grants are focused on supporting Russian language and Russian culture in the world, as well as the development of the Russkiy Mir Foundation.

If you would like to apply for a grant from the Russkiy Mir Foundation, you may find the application form here (in Russian).
