Investing in the future of Lithuania, at home & abroad.​
The Kazickas Family Foundation supports organizations that empower Lithuania’s current and future generations.

About the Kazickas Family Foundation

The Kazickas’ “Odyssey of Hope” brought our family to America – the new world of freedom, opportunity and prosperity in 1945, but we never forgot our heritage and homeland. As a family foundation, our mission is to support organizations in Lithuania and the diaspora that are working to create a better future for Lithuanians everywhere.

Areas of Focus

The Kazickas Family Foundation primarily supports nonprofit organizations working to advance the cause of Lithuanians, though we will at times support organizations working on unrelated causes around the world.
