2021 Awards

In response to the range, depth, and need of applications from the first call for proposals, the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation awarded $5.1 million to 79 institutions through the Frankenthaler Climate Initiative and simultaneously announced an additional $5 million to the initiative, to be awarded over the next two years. The 2021 grantees represent a broad cross-section of collecting institutions across more than/some 25 states, ranging from smaller, specialized museums, to regional powerhouses and major encyclopedic institutions, with annual operating budgets ranging in size from less than million to nearly $500 million. Applications were evaluated on the bases of both feasibility and impacts, and monetary awards have been issued in proportion to the scope and timeline of the project. Recipients are required to track and report their energy and greenhouse gas reduction in Energy Star® Portfolio Manager, providing important data for the cultural sector and the climate movement. For more information, read the full press release. A full listing of grantees follows below.
