"Since its launch in 2021, the program has become the largest private national grantmaking initiative of its kind, supporting visual arts organizations in the United States through assessment, planning, and implementation of efforts to reduce their environmental impact through clean energy generation and energy efficiency measures. Overseen by the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation in association with Environment & Culture Partners and Green Design Collaborative, FCI has awarded more than $17.5 million to 249 institutions across 40 states to date."
""With each successive cycle, we continue to see how the arts sector is driving forward new models for sustainability," said Elizabeth Smith, Executive Director of the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation. "Arts organizations across the country are translating their values into action, developing projects that not only improve their energy performance but also model new ways of thinking about stewardship and resourcefulness. Each cycle contributes to shaping a resilient, low-carbon cultural landscape.""
