Seeding,
Field-building,
and
Ecosystem
Development

Jerome Foundation provides a small number of invitational grants each year for organizations that are seeding new initiatives or supporting field-building and ecosystem development centered around early career generative artists and culture bearers based in Minnesota and New York City. While the foundation does not accept unsolicited applications for this funding, we warmly welcome conversations with organizations who are engaged in this work and whose missions, values, and practices that align with those of the Jerome Foundation.

If your organization is actively seeding new initiatives or doing field-building/ecosystem development work, and shares Jerome’s commitments and program focus on early career artists and culture bearers based in Minnesota and the five boroughs of New York City, we welcome you to reach out to our team. Please note that these funding opportunities are extremely limited.
