Our ambitious programme of international and UK residencies, exhibitions and public programmes is made possible by our family of individual and gallery supporters, regional patron networks, foundations, public funding and partnerships.

Our founder Delfina Entrecanales CBE provided the seed funding to establish Delfina Foundation and provided the space rent-free from 2007. Her retirement in 2020 marked the end of this direct financial support and Delfina Foundation now must raise 100% of its income.

Support from both institutions and individuals is essential to allow us to continue our mission.
