The Vilcek Foundation is accepting applications for its 2026 grant cycle, offering up to $20,000 per grant to nonprofit organizations that highlight immigrant contributions in the arts, sciences, and culture. The total funding pool is $200,000, with a deadline of April 30, 2026. This initiative marks the second year of this specific grant program, expanding the foundation's long-standing mission as it celebrates its 25th anniversary.
This funding is significant as it addresses a critical gap created by cuts to federal arts and science grantmaking. By targeting nonprofits across all U.S. states and territories, the foundation aims to diversify its impact and partner with organizations that create meaningful, community-focused programs led by or elevating immigrant artists and thinkers.
