Her practice has been funded by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, Kunstrådet: Danish Arts Council, Kulturrådet: Swedish Arts Council, Malmö Stad, and coawarded two National Endowment for the Arts grants.
 
Vanderpool is currently exhibiting in the UK at The Harley Foundation and Wentworth Woodhouse. These exhibitions are part of her ongoing Untold Stories series about disinvested communities which have been funded by the
Ohio Arts Council, US–UK Fulbright Commission, British Academy Leverhulme Trust, UCSB research grants, DéPOT (Deindustrialization and the Politics of Our Time)—sponsored by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada and collaborating organizations in Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the US.
