C/O Berlin Foundation is primarily a photography and visual media institution rather than a traditional grantmaker. It supports the field by mounting exhibitions of internationally recognized photographers, promoting emerging talent, and awarding targeted prizes such as the After Nature Prize. Its giving is closely tied to curated programming and donor/member support, so organizations and artists are most likely to engage through exhibitions, awards, or partnership-based opportunities rather than open philanthropy.
Curated, program-linked support through exhibitions, artist prizes, and donor/member circles; generally invite-only or selection-based rather than open grantmaking.
There is no evidence of a standard open grant application. Artists should watch C/O Berlin’s exhibition and prize announcements, and potential partners should approach through curated proposals, sponsorships, or the Director’s Circle/member network.
