The organization subsequently evolved into the Generative Art Foundation, broadening its scope from direct funding into artist opportunities, education, preservation, and institutional partnerships. It operates as a fiscally sponsored project of Philanthropic Ventures Foundation and accepts cryptocurrency donations through Endaoment.
Generative Art Foundation reports that artists and individuals have donated more than $1.8 million to it. Its activities include assisting institutions with acquiring and managing on-chain generative art, lending generative artworks for public display, and providing grants to museums, universities, nonprofit organizations, and artists, with support connected to programs at the Whitney Museum of American Art and Buffalo AKG Art Museum. The foundation also partnered with AI21C to support HausCode, a Haus der Kunst initiative inviting digital artists to engage critically with museum programming, with announced support including €2,000 for selected artists and an online exhibition.
