The Speculative Literature Foundation is offering a grant to a writer of "speculative fiction" over fifty a grant to help them on their way to producing finished, publishable work.

The SLF Older Writers Grant is awarded annually to a writer who is fifty years of age or older at the time of grant application, and is intended to assist such writers who are just starting to work at a professional level. We are currently offering one $750 grant annually, to be used as the writer determines will best assist his or her work.

Full details can be found here.

Disclaimer: the grant is in dollars, so I don't know if they will sponsor/accept international applications. However, as my gran used to say - if you don't ask, you don't get.
