Fondation Périer-D'Ieteren is a Belgium-based family foundation that concentrates on European art and heritage, especially 14th-18th century art history, conservation-restoration, and the scholarly publication of related research. It supports a small set of highly specific, often academic or museum-based projects through fellowships, publication grants, and project funding, with an emphasis on Belgian universities, Belgian conservators, and Belgian cultural institutions. The foundation also appears to back flagship research and heritage initiatives that produce durable knowledge products or direct conservation outcomes.
Annual, highly programmatic grantmaking with a mix of fellowships and project grants; awards are generally targeted, competitive, and tied to specific deadlines. Funding includes modest-to-medium research stipends for 3–6 month or one-year fellowships, publication support, and a larger annual pot of roughly €50,000–€70,000 for acquisition/conservation/restoration projects. Most opportunities are centered on Belgium and are likely application-based rather than open-ended general support.

Watch the annual deadlines closely: fellowships typically close around 1 March, while project/publication calls have previously closed around 30 September and the major art-object support call has a January deadline. Applicants should align proposals tightly with European art (14th–18th c.), conservation-restoration, or art-historical scholarship, and Belgium-based institutions or Belgian conservators are especially favored. Strong applications will clearly show scholarly rigor, heritage impact, and a concrete deliverable such as a restored artwork, publication, or research output.
