Grant Process
Please note: 3 curatorial programs are exempt from these guidelines, please go to the Curators on the Cusp page for further information on the Emily Hall Tremaine Exhibition Award, Exhibition Research Grants, and Curatorial Advancement Grants.
While the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation occasionally receives letters of inquiry in the mail, it should be understood that unsolicited proposals and letters of inquiry rarely develop into a grant, and are not encouraged. Only organizations who have been approached by the Foundation to apply for a grant will have the necessary codes to access the online form. Most Foundation grants result from our consultations with experts in our three focus areas to proactively identify organizations whose approaches match our strategies and priorities. Once identified, the Foundation works in partnership with these organizations to co-create programs that advance our areas of focus.
Other organizations actively pursuing our objectives, and who wish to inform us of their work, may nevertheless submit an informative two-page letter in the mail highlighting the following: the organization’s mission, goals, strategies, history, and the programmatic and geographic scope of its activities. However, the Foundation does not normally respond to these inquiries, other than to acknowledge their receipt.
