Maybe more than you think; especially when their shared legacy powers one of the most generous grantmaking institutions supporting immigrants in the arts and sciences today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>Episode 46 of GrantTalk<\/strong>, host <strong>Libby Hikind<\/strong>, founder and <strong>CEO<\/strong> of <strong>GrantWatch<\/strong> and author of &#8220;<strong>The Queen of Grants<\/strong>,&#8221; sits down with <strong>Liz Boylan<\/strong>, grant officer at the <strong>Vilcek Foundation<\/strong>. Together, they explore how this New York City-based foundation, founded by immigrants <strong>Jan and Marica Vilcek<\/strong>, is expanding its national footprint with open-call grants up to <strong>$200,000<\/strong>, and how it&#8217;s using art, science, and philanthropy to build a stronger, more inclusive future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Are the Vilceks?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jan Vilcek, a biomedical scientist, and his wife Marica, an esteemed art historian, immigrated from the former Czechoslovakia to the U.S. to pursue their work free from government censorship. Their careers flourished. Jan co-developed a treatment for autoimmune diseases, while Marica spent over three decades curating at the Met. Their success inspired them to give back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2000, they established the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vilcek.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vilcek Foundation<\/a><\/strong>, a <strong>private operating foundation<\/strong> focused on supporting immigrant contributions to the <strong>arts and sciences<\/strong>. Twenty-five years later, the foundation is expanding its mission with a bold call for grant applications from nonprofits across all 50 states and U.S. territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Exhibits to Grants: A Unique Approach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Vilcek Foundation<\/strong> is known for more than just funding. Its headquarters in NYC houses a gallery space showcasing works from its collection and exhibitions like <em><strong>Grounded in Clay: The Spirit of Pueblo Pottery<\/strong><\/em>, created in partnership with the School for Advanced Research and curated by over 60 Native American community members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But its impact doesn&#8217;t end there. The foundation also awards annual <strong>prizes<\/strong> to immigrant professionals in biomedical science and the arts and offers <strong>grants to U.S.-based nonprofits<\/strong> whose missions align with theirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-3fabe93c88b60f4b24f4e51887fb3d3d\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(255,245,203) 0%,rgb(182,227,212) 43%,rgb(51,167,181) 100%)\">\u201cWe\u2019re democratizing our grantmaking,\u201d said Liz. \u201cFor the first time, we\u2019re accepting applications from nonprofits we\u2019ve never met, and <strong>GrantWatch<\/strong> has been instrumental in helping us reach them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/218157\/grants-to-usa-nonprofits-to-support-immigrant-artists-in-local-communities.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vilcek Foundation Grants on GrantWatch<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Grants range up to $200,000<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Deadline: June 30, 2025<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open to <strong>nonprofits based in the U.S. or its territories<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Priorities: Supporting immigrants in <strong>arts or sciences<\/strong>, and fostering appreciation for those fields more broadly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apply at <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/vilcek.org\"><strong>vilcek.org<\/strong><\/a> or email: <strong><a>grants@vilcek.org<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grant Writing Tips from a Grantmaker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Liz emphasizes <strong>specificity<\/strong> in applications. \u201cWe\u2019re not looking for generic pitches. We want to know how your mission shows up in your daily work\u2014and what makes your organization irreplaceable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also addressed the AI question: \u201cUsing AI isn\u2019t a dealbreaker\u2014so long as the heart of the application reflects your actual organization, its impact, and your story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relationship-Driven Funding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While many foundations keep grantees at arm\u2019s length, the <strong>Vilcek Foundation<\/strong> builds <strong>active partnerships<\/strong> with its recipients. From <strong>social media promotion<\/strong> to <strong>network introductions<\/strong>, grantees often benefit well beyond the grant award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re small\u2014just 11 people,\u201d said Liz. \u201cBut we care deeply. If your nonprofit aligns with our mission, we want to amplify your voice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a time when nonprofits are asked to do more with less, the <strong>Vilcek Foundation<\/strong> stands out, not just for the size of its grants, but for its human-centered approach. Thanks to platforms like <strong>GrantWatch<\/strong>, its call for applications is reaching deserving organizations nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Subscribe to <em><strong>GrantTalk<\/strong><\/em> on YouTube for more episodes like this, and visit <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\"><strong>GrantWatch.com<\/strong><\/a> to find new funding opportunities daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Connect with GrantWatch<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\ud83d\udcd6&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/book\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Queen of Grants<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\udf99\ufe0f&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/granttalk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GrantTalk Podcast<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\udf10&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/grantwatch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GrantWatch Subscriptions<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Connect with <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\ud83d\udcde <a href=\"tel:2124722500\">212.472.2500<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\ud83c\udf10&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:info@vilcek.org\">info@vilcek.org<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83d\udccd21 East 70th Street<br>New York, New York 10021<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83d\udcf2<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/vilcekfoundation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83d\udcbc <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/vilcekfoundation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>LinkedIn<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83d\udcf8<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/vilcekfoundation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\udd87&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Vilcek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">X&nbsp;<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83d\udcfa&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/VilcekFoundation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube Channel<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About GrantWatch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>With over&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/plans.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>9,400 grants<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;currently available,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>GrantWatch.com<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;is the leading grant listing directory.
