Esperantic Studies Foundation is a private corporation based in WASHINGTON, DC. The foundation received its IRS ruling in 1969. It holds total assets of $4.1M. Annual income is reported at $433K. NASK, the North American Summer Esperanto Workshop, is the Premier Esperanto language learning workshop in the USA. It has been held annually since 1969. The Workshop is made possible by the subsidy provided by ESF. ESF organizes it, finds the teachers and location, advertises it to prospective students and pays the bills and teachers.

The foundation has distributed between $101K and $124K annually from 2020 to 2023. Individual grants have ranged from $250 to $38K, with an average award of $7K.
