Norcross Foundation prioritizes large, targeted investments in pediatric and blood-cancer research and treatment while also supporting place-based conservation and community recreation in its service areas. Most dollars go to a small number of repeat grantees—national cancer research charities and a regional environmental trust—alongside local YMCA capital/operating support. The foundation favors mission-driven organizations with measurable program or preservation outcomes.
Norcross Foundation Inc. concentrates its giving in a small set of repeat relationships, with major support for children’s cancer work, leukemia and lymphoma research and treatment, and preservation of a freshwater lake and watershed. The largest recent grant in the record is $500,000 to Curesearch for Children's Cancer for operations, followed by repeated seven-figure-scale commitments across multiple years to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for research and treatment. That pattern shows a funder that backs organizations over time rather than making many one-off awards. The foundation also invests in local community-serving groups in Jacksonville and the First Coast. YMCA of Florida's First Coast received support for Winston Family YMCA funding in multiple years, while United Way of Ne Florida and St John's Presbyterian Church also appear as recurring recipients. In youth-serving work, Norcross Foundation Inc. has supported college preparation, scholarships, and arts access through groups such as Jacksonville Alliance for Kipp Scho, The Baylor School, and Cathedral Arts Project. Environmental grantmaking appears in the form of lake and watershed protection through Walloon Lake Trust & Conservancy.
In medical research and treatment support, Norcross Foundation Inc. gave $333,000 in 2024 and $330,000 in 2025 to Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for research and treatment, and $500,000 in 2025 to Curesearch for Children's Cancer to fund operations. Those grants place pediatric cancer and blood-cancer work at the center of the foundation’s recent giving. The foundation also supports youth development and education. It gave $100,000 in 2023 and 2024 to Jacksonville Alliance for Kipp Scho for college prep support for students, $75,000 in both 2024 and 2025 to Cathedral Arts Project to provide access to arts for youth, and $70,000 to Phi Delta Theta Foundation for scholarships. A third area is conservation. Walloon Lake Trust & Conservancy received $250,000 in 2025 and $242,236 in 2023 to preserve and protect a lake and watershed.
Typical grants fall around the mid-five-figure range: p25 is $32,500, median grant size is $50,000, and p75 is $100,000. The record also includes several larger awards above that range, including six-figure and half-million-dollar grants. The same organizations appear across multiple years, which points to recurring support rather than isolated awards. Examples include grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025 to St John's Presbyterian Church; in 2024 and 2025 to United Way of Ne Florida; and in multiple years to several other recipients. Norcross Foundation Inc. does not fund individuals and is not shown making program-related investments.
