The George Family Foundation's mission is to support programs, organizations, and initiatives that transform lives by aiming to change the systems affecting those lives. It advocates for whole-person health and wellbeing, nurturing all aspects of humanity—mind, body, spirit, and community.

The grant program aims to support youth development by enabling young people from under-resourced communities to realize their full potential and leverage their unique talents and capabilities. It seeks to ensure diverse opportunities for youth to explore and develop their talents and encourage interactions across different racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. Specific areas of funding include planning and purpose to help youth identify and achieve goals, educational enrichment beyond regular school subjects, and workplace learning for skill development and social growth. The grants target middle to high school-aged youth, particularly those from under-resourced communities, and prioritize programs that offer long-term engagement, promote diverse interactions, enable community service, and encourage youth participation in program creation.
