The Helen Frankenthaler Foundation announces a new round of funding under the Frankenthaler Climate Initiative (FCI). On Tuesday, June 16, it awards $4.5 million to 83 visual arts organizations across the United States and Puerto Rico. The grant cycle is described by the foundation as its largest to date.
The foundation says the FCI supports climate-related efforts at cultural institutions, continuing a program it launched in 2021. Since that launch, the foundation reports that it has awarded a total of $21.8 million through the initiative, indicating that the latest distribution expands the program’s overall financial commitment.
The announcement does not specify details of individual grantees in the provided text, nor does it outline particular project types beyond the initiative’s climate-focused purpose. Overall, the coverage emphasizes the scale of the latest round, the number of organizations receiving support, and the cumulative funding since the program began.
