- Southwest USA and Northwest Mexico
- Central Asia and Turkey
- the African Rift Valley
- Northern Australia
- Melanesia
Some international projects are also supported. Deadlines: applications are due on August 31, and some additional applications may be accepted for a March 31 deadline. Examples of funded language revitalization projects include:

- GURAPAU Group (2007) Funded to support partnerships between ''Elmolo fisher people of Lake Turkana in Northern Kenya'' and local researchers to document and revitalize their language, ethno-ecological knowledge, cultural heritage and sacred sites and restore identity and lost pride as a basis for community development.
