The Berilla Kerr Foundation is a private foundation that awards grants to support mid-career playwrights in the United States. [1]

Similar to the MacArthur Fellows Program, [2] nominees are chosen through a juried process, and the final winners are selected by a committee of industry experts, selected each year by the Foundation. Writers cannot apply for the prize themselves, and the Foundation does not accept unsolicited nominations. [3]
