Grants Programs: Institutional Grants
The Dedalus Foundation supports educational programs, exhibitions, and publications by museums, universities, art schools, and other educational institutions. Some of these have been directly related to the work of Robert Motherwell but most have not. In addition to providing funds for short term projects, the Foundation provides seed money to facilitate long term projects that are in their initial or planning stage. Generally, the Foundation limits such grants to approximately $25,000.
Awards are made twice annually, in the spring and the fall. The deadline for spring applications is March 15, and the deadline for fall applications is October 15.
New prospective institutional applicants should make initial contact with the Dedalus Foundation through a letter of introduction. Eligible institutions will then be invited to submit proposals for review.
Inquiries should be addressed to:
