Thanks to the generosity of a private donor, the Institute for Latino Studies (ILS) at the University of Notre Dame is pleased to announce the creation of an endowment for Letras Latinas—the literary program of the ILS. The initial beneficiary of this endowment, at the request of the donor, is the Letras Latinas Young Writers Initiative. As the endowment grows through continued philanthropy, however, funds will be earmarked for ongoing projects that are consistent with our mission—such as, for example, the Letras Latinas Residency Fellowship, which I'll be saying more about in the coming weeks.
At this time I would like to offer an overdue heartfelt thanks here, at the Letras Latinas Blog, to those individuals who stepped up and generously contributed to the initial campaign—in 2007:
