The Vilcek Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in New York City, focused on raising awareness of immigrant contributions in the United States and promoting appreciation for the arts and sciences. Established in 2000 by Jan and Marica Vilcek, immigrant founders with backgrounds in biomedical science and art history, the foundation advances its mission through programs that recognize achievement and potential in foreign-born professionals. Its awards include annual Vilcek Prizes in the arts and biomedical science, targeting both established leaders and promising early-career individuals, and it supports cultural initiatives aligned with its mission, such as partnerships with institutions and events in the arts and film sectors. Beyond awards, the foundation maintains an art collection spanning American modernist art, pre-Columbian art, and Native American pottery, conducting research, curating exhibitions, and lending works to other institutions to encourage scholarly interest and public engagement.
