Vision Fund

The Vision Fund brings together a distinguished group of philanthropists who are dedicated to shaping the future of the institution by investing in new commissions and programming. This evolving network of national and international supporters are in close dialogue with the MoMA PS1 Director through annual convenings and bespoke events hosted by the Director, Director of Curatorial Affairs, and PS1’s dedicated Board. Members receive invitations to all major openings at PS1 and can arrange private tours and before- or after-hours visits at their convenience.

Vision Fund supporters make annual contributions starting at $25,000 toward a designated fund designed to sustain PS1’s experimental and artist-centric curatorial ethos.
