Support initiatives that strengthen Lithuania’s civil society, education, culture, entrepreneurship and historical memory, and promote active civic engagement and good governance.
The Kazickas Family Foundation gives some of its largest recent support to Lithuanian civil-society, education, and cultural institutions, with multiple grants directed to organizations in Vilnius and to Lithuanian-focused groups in the United States. A 2023 grant of $63,422 to Lithuanian School in Vilnius stands out among recent awards, alongside $33,191 to Bring Together in 2025 and $31,601 to Kauno Technologijos Universitetas in 2023. The pattern points to a foundation that backs both institutions in Lithuania and diaspora-linked organizations serving Lithuanian communities in the US. Recent grants also show a mix of general-purpose support and broader public-interest work. The foundation funded Museus, religious music centers, medical and educational organizations, and community groups such as Assist in Suffield, Connecticut. It also supported Amagansett Life Saving & Coast Guard in Vilnius and Blueyellow USA in Naperville, Illinois, reflecting a grantmaking profile that reaches across cultural preservation, civic engagement, education, and community needs. The foundation’s recurring support for Lithuanian schools, universities, and cultural organizations suggests a sustained interest in educational and historical memory projects connected to Lithuania.
Education is a clear priority. The foundation gave $63,422 to Lithuanian School in Vilnius in 2023, $21,244 to Alexandra Kazickas Lithuanian School in Aquebogue, New York in 2023, and $17,500 to that school again in 2025. Higher education appears as well, including $31,601 to Kauno Technologijos Universitetas in 2023 and $27,763 in 2025. Cultural and historical work also receives sustained attention. In Vilnius, it granted $21,561 to Muziejus in 2025 and $19,893 to the same recipient in 2023, plus support for Lietuvos Laisves Kovu Misko in 2023. Religious culture shows up through grants to Religines Muzikos Centras in Vilnius in both 2023 and 2025. Civic and community-oriented grants include $50,000 to The Nature Conservancy in 2023 and $20,000 to Blueyellow USA in 2025. The foundation also supported health-related organizations such as Northwell Health Foundation and Southampton Hospital Foundation.
Typical grants cluster at modest levels: p25 is $2,500, median is $5,000, and p75 is $10,000. The recent list also shows repeated support for the same recipients across years, including Assist in Suffield, Connecticut; Northwell Health Foundation in New Hyde Park, New York; and Alexandra Kazickas Lithuanian School in Aquebogue, New York. That suggests follow-on giving rather than a one-time-only pattern. The foundation funds individuals as well as organizations, and its topic taxonomy includes general-purpose grants, organizational sustainability, scholarship sponsorships, and event or program sponsorship.
