Short Description

Grantmaking is a vital part of how the Vilcek Foundation pursues its mission: to recognize and celebrate immigrant contributions to the arts and sciences, and to foster appreciation for the arts and sciences.

The Vilcek Foundation invites applications for grants to support nonprofit organizations that work with immigrant artists and communities, and that promote diversity in the arts, sciences, education, and humanities. A portion of the foundation’s grants are identified and initiated directly by the Vilcek Foundation.
