The Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation aims to fund innovative projects that solve basic and long-standing problems, predominantly in education within the United States. Its focus areas are art, the environment, and learning differences. The foundation values the entrepreneurial spirit, imagination, risk-taking, family unity, equality, and mutual respect. It also emphasizes educating family members on philanthropy, service, and stewardship.
The Peer Network Grant program supports opportunities that enhance curatorial knowledge and practices in the United States, particularly within contemporary art. It encourages curators to broaden their professional networks in innovative ways beyond traditional conferences, whether through in-person or online gatherings, and without specific constraints on location or frequency. Applicants should be U.S.-based curators with a primary focus on contemporary art. Grants are offered for up to 12 months, with amounts ranging from $500 to $5,000, and do not require matching funds. Proposed activities can include convening curatorial discussions, collaborating on ideation or skill-building, site visits for potential collaborative exhibitions, and forming interdisciplinary teams to explore new exhibition possibilities.
