Description
Jerome Foundation’s Seeding, Field-building, and Ecosystem Development program supports organizations launching new initiatives or strengthening the fields and ecosystems surrounding early career generative artists and culture bearers. The work must center artists and culture bearers based in Minnesota and the five boroughs of New York City.
The foundation invites a small number of grants each year, with an emphasis on organizations whose missions, values, and practices align with its own. The program supports the broader context in which early career artists and culture bearers practice, including convenings and research that benefit them. Funding opportunities are extremely limited, and conversations with prospective organizations depend on the foundation’s capacity.
