The Green Family Foundation (GFF), founded in 1991 by Steven J. Green, former United States Ambassador to Singapore, aims to positively impact communities both domestically and internationally by providing funding and resources for education, global health, and community development. The foundation's mission centers on empowering under-served communities to break the cycle of extreme poverty through sustainable programs that enhance lives. By supporting grassroots initiatives focused on prevention, education, treatment, and quality care, GFF aims to enable progressive organizations to build self-reliance and improve global health and poverty conditions under the leadership of Kimberly Green.
The Green Family Foundation's grant program supports holistic programs that directly impact global health, alleviate poverty, and empower communities. Grants are primarily aimed at funding organizations looking to launch or expand activities with a goal of sustainability. The foundation's interest lies in grassroots organizations that offer innovative and quality programming to directly combat poverty and global health issues. The grant program focuses on several key areas:
Global Health & Development: Providing grants to organizations aiming to bridge the gap between poverty and opportunity through education, health services, jobs, and community participation. The foundation supports holistic approaches to health and development programs, particularly those aligned with achieving the Millennium Development Goals by 2015, focusing on education, care, treatment, research, and sustainable activities for community self-sufficiency.
Community Empowerment: Supporting programs that offer continuing education opportunities for adults and teens, with a focus on technology access, computer literacy, and social advocacy to strengthen communities through participation, education, and activism.
Youth Arts: Funding programs that encourage youth to express their views creatively and constructively, aiming to provide an avenue for creative expression and opportunities for a successful future.
Education: Encouraging programs that challenge young people to think beyond their community norms to broaden their understanding of social challenges, health awareness, government, and interpersonal communication.
