LANDO Grants

We recently awarded the 2024 LANDO grants.  Meet the 2024 LANDO Grantees and Finalists HERE.

The de Groot Foundation collaborates with Barry Lando, award winning investigative journalist and former 60 Minutes producer, to provide the LANDO grants. The LANDO grants are specifically for writers exploring the issues of and solutions to the challenges of migration, immigration or the refugee experience. 

I’m honored to partner with Charles and Clydette de Groot to tackle one of the gravest problems facing the world today– the enormous rise in refugees and migrants fleeing catastrophic conditions in their homelands, desperate to start new lives in the globe’s more stable, prosperous nations. My goal is to encourage emerging authors to examine—via fiction or nonfiction, any aspect of this on-going challenge, from its varied causes to its impact in the “developed” world.  I am particularly interested in discovering potential authors and researchers with fresh ideas for solutions.  ~Barry Lando
