So far in 2026, Teiger Foundation has awarded more than $3 million through 25 grants supporting curators and contemporary visual art organizations in the United States and internationally. Hosting grants, now offered quarterly, supported US organizations presenting exhibitions developed elsewhere, while International co-creation grants supported curator-led collaborations across national borders. We continue our climate-focused grantmaking by piloting Resilience in contemporary art in partnership with Helen Frankenthaler Foundation. Additional grantmaking has supported major international exhibitions and special initiatives that allow us to respond to pressing needs and opportunities in the field.
