The Paul Green Foundation aims to advance the vision of playwright and activist Paul Green, focusing on the arts and human rights. Established in 1982, it continues Green’s legacy of commitment to these areas, distributing its grants primarily through two funds at the Triangle Community Foundation.
The grant program by the Paul Green Foundation is tailored for 501(c)(3) organizations in North Carolina that are involved in Dramatic Productions, Projects, Programs, or Publications echoing Paul Green’s life’s work and values. This encompasses efforts aimed at promoting basic human rights and racial equality, dramatic and literary arts, including works that might promote or preserve Paul Green’s own literary contributions. The foundation's grants support initiatives that mirror Green's dedication to social justice, literature, and the dramatic arts, emphasizing his historical contributions and values.
