Since 2021, Teiger Foundation has awarded more than $30 million in support of contemporary visual art curators and organizations in the United States and internationally.
Through our call for proposals, we support curators at US organizations through Single project, Three years of programming, and Research and development grants, offered every other year, and Hosting grants, which are awarded quarterly.
Other grantmaking includes Climate action through additional funds and coaching support for select US grantees; support for International curators working across national borders; select international exhibitions; and other forms of support for the field.
