ere the money raised from the endowment might be directed his request was to increase the national translation awards in prose and poetry from 2 500 the level set in 2014 to bring them closer to the privately financed awards alta also administers such as the lucien stryk asian translation prize 10 000 the italian prose in translation award 5 000 and the spain usa foundation translation award 5 000 last year in response to his request the national translation awards in poetry and prose were each increased to 4 000 and the goal is to raise them each to 5 000 as soon as the budget allows we hope that releasing this information will help alta s members to see that an endowment is not merely an accumulation of abstract numbers but it is the incarnation of the belief of our donors in our
