Since its founding in 1992, the Soros Center for Contemporary Arts Prague has been supported exclusively by the American private institution Open Society Fund (George Soros). In addition to a regular annual contribution of $200,000 USD, it has funded the participation of Czech artists in international exhibitions (Sao Paulo, Manifesta), international art residencies (David Černý's year-long stay at PS1 in N.Y.), etc.

The OSF contribution was terminated in 2002. The continued existence and operation of the Foundation was made possible by a one-time contribution from the National Property Fund. Pursuant to Resolution No. 1946 of the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic of 12 December 2001 and Government Resolution No. 1025/01 of 10 October 2001, Foundation for Contemporary Arts became the beneficiary of the funds allocated for the Foundation Investment Fund (NIF) in the second phase, totalling CZK 35 million. This amount became an inviolable asset of the Foundation and a source of funds for the Foundation for Contemporary Arts’ grant programme and for the Foundation's operations.

In addition to these main sources, the Foundation is continuously supported by individual contributions. One of the most significant contributions that should be highlighted is the project "Artists for Themselves", which consisted of donations of artworks to the Foundation. Thanks to these donations, defined as the first endowment, the Foundation was able to register in 1999 under the then new Foundation Act. Since 2018, the partial sale of this collection has helped the Foundation finance the renovation of the new headquarters of the Foundation House the Bakery.
