Founded in 1925, the Kosciuszko Foundation is dedicated to promoting and strengthening understanding and friendship between the peoples of Poland and the United States through educational, scientific and cultural exchanges and other related programs and activities. It awards fellowships and grants to graduate students, scholars, scientists, professionals and artists and helps to increase the visibility and prestige of Polish culture in America’s pluralistic society by sponsoring exhibits, publications, film festivals, performing art such as concerts and recitals, and assists other institutions with similar goals.

The New Kosciuszko Foundation Dictionary has been compiled by a team of lexicographers at Poznań’s Adam Mickiewicz University. The editor-in-chief of the 20-strong team is Professor Jacek Fisiak, founder of the Poznań school of English Studies, a teacher of many generations of English scholars, editor of international linguistic and philological journals, author and editor of over 150 publications, including six English-Polish and Polish-English dictionaries
