The Textwriters' Fund is a foundation whose aim is to support active lyricists of original works and translations to music. The fund provides financial support for projects in music and text, and has allocations from the Composers' Remuneration Fund and the Norwegian Composers' Fund. Through its activities, the fund focuses on promoting Norwegian music and lyric writing, and offers resources and information for applicants for support.
The fund also organizes awards, such as the Textwriters Fund's Light Point Award, to recognize and highlight the work of copywriters. The board of the fund awards various grants, including deepening grants, work grants, travel grants, as well as opportunities for working stays in the fund's apartment in Florence. This helps to develop and support new music in Norway.
