The 60th Venice Biennale primarily supports international cultural production rather than traditional philanthropy, with a strong emphasis on selecting and developing emerging artists and creative teams through competitive, curated calls. Its funding is concentrated in the Biennale College programs, which offer training, residencies, workshops, and production support in cinema, dance, music, immersive media, and interdisciplinary arts. Nonprofits and cultural organizations are most likely to engage with it through invitation-based or open-call opportunities tied to specific artistic disciplines, especially for young talent and experimental work.
Competitive, call-based support with no unsolicited proposals; awards are typically project-specific, time-limited, and tied to workshops, residencies, and production assistance rather than unrestricted grants. Grant support often takes the form of micro-budget production backing or intensive training programs, with deadlines announced by program and eligibility rules focused on age, team composition, and artistic discipline.

Monitor program-specific calls on the Biennale website and apply only through the designated application process; most programs are international but require a director-plus-producer team, and several have age limits or discipline-specific eligibility. Be prepared to present a strong artistic concept, development plan, and clear fit with the relevant Biennale College track, since there are no unsolicited proposals and deadlines are fixed by call.
