Here is today’s featured foundation.

The Pollock-Krasner Foundation

Website: https://pkf.org/

Mission & Purpose: To aid those individuals who have worked as professional artists over a significant period of time. Established by the estate of Lee Krasner (widow of Jackson Pollock), the foundation is dedicated to supporting the careers of visual artists.

Broad Funding Guidelines: This is an international/national funder. Uniquely, they fund individual artists directly—you do not need to be a nonprofit. They support painters, sculptors, and artists working on paper (printmakers). They do not fund commercial artists, photographers, or video artists. Their grant application is open year-round with rolling reviews.

Featured Opportunity: The "Individual Grant" is the core offering. These grants are designed to cover professional and personal expenses (like studio rent, materials, or even living costs) to allow an artist to focus on their work. It is one of the most significant sources of artist funding in the world.

Recommendation: A professional painter or sculptor (mid-career or established) who has a strong portfolio and financial need, seeking a grant to pay for studio time or materials for a new body of work.
