The LeRoy Neiman and Janet Byrne Neiman Foundation, which the Neimans founded in 1986, continues their philanthropic work. We provide funding for after-school community programs, university initiatives, and other educational efforts that foster interest in and love of art.
In reviewing grant proposals, the Foundation requires information regarding who will be served by the proposed grant, the percentage of the grant that will go directly to supporting arts programming and education, and what other organizations or programs are fulfilling arts education needs in the area where the grant seeker is based. We also consider requests relating to exhibitions and publications relevant to LeRoy Neiman’s life and work.
