The Jerome Foundation, based in St. Paul, Minnesota, operates as a philanthropic funder that supports the creation, development, and production of new works by emerging artists. It provides grants to not-for-profit arts organizations and individual artists in Minnesota and New York City, with the aim of contributing to a dynamic and evolving cultural landscape. The foundation was established by artist and philanthropist Jerome Hill (1905–1972). 

Within the arts sector, the foundation focuses on early career artists and the broader ecology of arts ecosystems, offering programs that include fellowships and residencies to nurture new work. In 2023, Eleanor Savage was appointed president and CEO to guide grantmaking and its emphasis on equity and societal impact through culture. Its history includes collaborations such as the Jerome Fellowship for Early Career Artists, developed in partnership with Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 1981, and initiatives like Jerome@Camargo residencies to support artists.
