PEN/Heim Translation Fund Grants

The PEN/Heim Translation Fund Grants were established in 2003 by PEN America following a gift of $730,000 by Michael Henry Heim, a noted literary translator. Heim believed that there was a "dismayingly low number of literary translations currently appearing in English". The grants' purpose is to promote the publication and reception of translated world literature in English. Grants are awarded each year to a select number of literary translators based on quality of translation as well as the originality and importance of the original work. The Fund's mission is to promote the publication and reception of world literature.
