About us
Fully Funded Residencies is a nonprofit online platform founded in 2018 for research and knowledge-sharing that gathers, archives and shares fully funded residencies, awards, grants, and mobility funds.
Our mission is to work towards making the contemporary art fields more democratic, transparent and equal. We aim to facilitate an open environment for cultural workers to exchange knowledge, ideas and experience through providing evaluation forms, a pool of resources, applications and counselling.
If you wish to help and donate to FFR, we would appreciate it!

A thank-you note...
The unveiling of our much-anticipated new website marks a significant milestone in our journey, and we want to pause to acknowledge that it wouldn’t have been possible without your incredible support.
Founded in 2018 out of frustration with a climate that fostered competition instead of collaboration — and a lack of peer-to-peer support — FFR has always operated on a voluntary basis to bring exclusively paid and fair opportunities to artists and cultural workers, without gatekeeping information or charging fees. We want to express our gratitude to every single one of you who contributed to developing our website. Your time, donations, skills, and dedication have turned our vision into a reality. This website will help us connect, grow, and serve our community better. Thank you for believing in our mission and for bringing your unique talents to the table. We couldn’t have done it without you!
