The Letras Latinas Endowment

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, however, funds will be earmarked for ongoing projects that are consistent with the mission of Letras Latinas.

At this time we would like to offer a heartfelt thanks to those individuals who generously contributed to the initial campaign to start the endowment—in 2007:
