The Jerome Foundation restricts its program to Minnesota and the five boroughs of New York City. The Foundation requires that organizational applicants have their primary office and operations based in one of those two areas. Jerome support is also restricted to emerging artists who are legal residents of Minnesota and/or New York City.
Adequate payment for artists is essential. Open and inclusive procedures for identifying and selecting artists are a high priority.
The Foundation does not support capital (building and endowment) campaigns, nor does it offer travel grants other than the specific Travel and Study Grant Program it administers.
