In the past two years, the Hungaria Nostra Foundation has committed funding to two projects — one in New York and a second project in Transylvania, for a total of $17,500 to support Hungarian cultural projects.
In late 2025, HNF contributed a matching grant of $7,500 to the American Hungarian Library and Historical Society in New York City for the restoration and cataloguing of paintings by 19 Hungarian women artists. Acquired in the late 1950s, the unique works were originally exhibited in 1939 as part of the International Women Artists Exhibition at the Riverside Museum in New York. The grant will enable the society to professionally clean the paintings and restore those that are most critically damaged. The restored works will be featured in an exhibition, “Hungarian Women Artists in America,” providing the public with access to these valuable cultural artifacts.
In early 2024, HNF awarded a grant of $10,000 to the Agri-Cultura-Natura Transylvania Association for publications and events associated with the preservation and advancement of historic Transylvanian barn architecture. The goal of the association is to contribute to the regional development process in Transylvania and to ensure that the region, particularly the Csik Basin area, continues to develop in a way that preserves as much of its cultural and natural heritage as possible.
