Description
The Dedalus Foundation’s Alumni Fund, formerly the Fund for Past Fellows and Awardees, provides targeted, ongoing support for alumni pursuing ambitious artistic or scholarly projects. Beginning in 2026, the program offers two forms of support: grants to individuals for specific project expenses and funding for projects undertaken with nonprofit institutional partners.
Individual grants support practical needs such as art supplies, education-related expenses, artwork framing and shipping, website development, studio or editorial assistance, and conference or residency travel. Institutional funding supports publishing subventions, exhibitions, and related initiatives developed with partners such as museums and university presses. This strand prioritizes projects in which the alum plays a central role in conceiving and leading the work, while considering multi-contributor projects case by case.
