Edith Farnsworth House, a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, in Plano secured grants from two national foundations for its Mexican Modernism programming this year.

The Vilcek Foundation of New York was established in 2000 by Dr. Jan T. Vilcek and his wife, Marica Vilcek, immigrants who fled communist Czechoslovakia in the 1960s.

The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation was established in 1983 by pioneering Chicago investor Richard H. Driehaus, and supports the local built environment, vibrant arts and culture, investigative journalism, and economic opportunity for the working poor.
