Set up by WeTransferin 2021, the foundation offers artists the resources they need to realize their ambitions, working with a trust-based approach to philanthropy that promotes growth and equity, no strings attached.
In 2025 the foundation allocated €600,000 to 20 new grantees, via two programs: the Impact Grant and the Artist Grant.
The Impact Grant
Ten grants of €50,000 were available to arts-focused nonprofits that support emerging artists from underrepresented groups. The grant is given over a two year period to allow nonprofits’ leadership time for thoughtful and coherent organizational improvement, planning and growth.
The Artist Grant

The Artist Grant is designed to improve living and working conditions for artists, enabling them to dedicate more time to artistic and personal development.
