The Joan Mitchell Foundation has provided funding to arts organizations that support the individual visual artist in their respective communities. Grants have been given to organizations for professional development, residency support, publications, exhibitions, technology, as well as general operating expenses. The Foundation’s focus in organizational granting is to support the promotion of cultural equity and expanded opportunities for artists at all points in their careers.
Please note that at this time submission of a full application for organizational support is by invitation only.
The Foundation will accept letters of inquiry (LOIs) throughout the year from non-profits and those working with fiscal sponsors, whose mission and programs align with our values and funding guidelines. LOIs are reviewed bi-annually in February (for summer funding) and August (for winter funding) to determine if a full application should be submitted.
