Announcing our
2026 FCI Grantees
The Helen Frankenthaler Foundation is pleased to announce its 2026 FCI grantees. This year the Foundation has awarded $4.5 million to 83 visual arts organizations for energy efficiency, clean energy, and climate resilience projects nationwide.
Read our 2026 announcement to meet this year's grantees: a cohort spanning collecting and non-collecting institutions, art schools, residencies, special exhibitions, and community-based spaces in urban and rural settings—each working to cut emissions, lower operating costs, and protect the collections, buildings, and communities in their care.
