Vilcek Foundation Opens 2026 Grant Cycle for Organizations Highlighting Immigrant Achievements

The Vilcek Foundation is currently accepting applications for its 2026 grant program, offering up to $20,000 per award to nonprofit organizations that recognize and promote immigrant contributions across arts, sciences, culture, and society. Applications are due by April 30, 2026. This initiative, now in its second year, expands the foundation's long-standing mission of celebrating immigrant impact in the United States, which it has pursued for 25 years. Since beginning its grantmaking in 2001, the foundation has distributed nearly $7.6 million to groups in 32 states and Guam. Recent beneficiaries include institutions like Utah State University, the Mint Museum of Art, and Graywolf Press, supporting programs that feature immigrant artists and leaders.
