The Pollock-Krasner Foundation, Inc. was established in 1985 for the sole purpose of providing financial assistance to individual visual artists of established ability through the generosity of the late Lee Krasner, one of the leading abstract expressionist painters and the widow of Jackson Pollock. Since its inception, the Foundation has awarded over 3,500 grants totaling $53,000,000 to artists in 72 countries.

The Foundation welcomes, throughout the year, applications from visual artists who are painters, sculptors and artists who work on paper, including printmakers. There are no deadlines. The Foundation's dual criteria for grants are recognizable artistic merit and financial need, whether personal, professional or both. The Foundation's mission is to aid, internationally, those individuals who have worked as professional artists over a significant period of time. Grants are intended for a one-year period of time.
