The Jerome Foundation

The Jerome Foundation supports artists and arts organizations.

The Jerome Foundation was founded in 1964 by artist and philanthropist Jerome Hill (1905-1972). The Foundation promotes a dynamic culture through support for artists, collectives and/or ensembles across all disciplines in the early stages of their vocational artistic lives to create new work and for nonprofit arts organizations that offer programs, services and activities for such artists, collectives and/or ensembles. The Foundation supports artists and nonprofit arts organizations based in the state of Minnesota and the five boroughs of New York City.

The Jerome Foundation is affiliated with the Camargo Foundation in Cassis, France.
