The Lithuanian Foundation, Inc. is a registered Illinois not-for-profit foundation dedicated to preserving and fostering Lithuanian culture and traditions in the United States, Lithuania and Lithuanian communities worldwide.

In over 45 years since its inception, the Lithuanian Foundation has advanced its goals by awarding $13,983,008 in grants and scholarships, including a special, one-time capital fund disbursement of $1,354,462 to aid Lithuania's educational and cultural institutions after the country declared independence from the Soviet Union in 1990.

The donations and bequests of members form the Foundation's capital fund. The Foundation invests in financial institutions, government issues, stocks, corporate bonds, real estate and other investments. The income from these investments finances the Foundation's grantmaking and operations.

Through careful management, investment, and planning, the fund has grown to a current marketvalue of over $15,000,000. The Foundation's leadership is working diligently to double the capital fund in order to meet ever-increasing appeals for funding.

You are warmly invited to join the Lithuanian Foundation and support its important work.
