The Foundation’s Venetian Research Program awards four types of support:

Grants for Independent Research on Venetian History and Culture

The Foundation awards grants (predoctoral and postdoctoral) for travel to and residence in Venice and the Veneto. These grants are made to individuals to support historical research on Venice and the former Venetian empire and the study of contemporary Venice.

Grants for Venetian Research in European Libraries and Archives Outside Venice

Scholars who have already received and accepted a Delmas grant for work in Venice and the Veneto are eligible for one-time grants of up to $3,000 (one month maximum) to work exclusively on Venetian materials in other European libraries or museums. The proposed research must be related to the previous Delmas grant.

Publication Assistance

The Foundation supports publications to help make possible the dissemination of work accomplished through our Grants for Independent Research on Venetian History and Culture.

Grants for Organizations in Support of Venetian Scholarship and Culture

The Foundation awards grants to organizations for projects aimed at broadening understanding of Venetian history and culture, including the preservation of scholarly resources relating to Venice.
