Grants for Nonprofit Organizations

The Vilcek Foundation - Grants for Nonprofit Organizations

The mission of the Vilcek Foundation is to raise awareness of immigrant contributions to the United States and to foster appreciation for the arts and sciences. Grantmaking is a vital part of how the Vilcek Foundation achieves its mission. The foundation makes grants to nonprofit organizations whose mission and work complements the Vilcek Foundation’s own.

The deadline to apply for a grant from the Vilcek Foundation is June 30, 2025.

The foundation invites nonprofit organizations that work with immigrant artists and communities, and that promote diversity in the arts, sciences, education, and humanities to apply for a grant. The Vilcek Foundation is committed to working with organizations that exemplify best practices in their field.

They seek to identify partners in all 50 states and in all U.S. territories whose work honors and celebrates immigrant contributions to the arts, sciences, and society. In the 2025 grant cycle, the Vilcek Foundation will prioritize grants to organizations we have not worked with previously, and to organizations in states where we have not previously awarded funds.

Past grant recipients include film festivals, museums, arts organizations including theatres, writers guilds, galleries, nonprofits focused on science and STEM education, organizations focused on immigrant rights and provision of social services to immigrant communities, and organizations working at the intersection of arts, culture, biomedical science, and community.
