The Norma Green Family Foundation makes modest, targeted grants across arts, health, and wildlife causes, with a noticeable emphasis on creative arts research and hands-on, place-based projects. They support both local/institutional initiatives (a hospital healing garden) and geographically dispersed organizations (arts research in Oregon, wildlife rehab in New Mexico) and also give to high-profile international medical relief. Grants are programmatic and project-focused rather than general operating endowments.
Norma Green Family Fdn Irr gives small project grants rather than large endowments, and one of its clearest patterns is repeated support for the Oregon Institute for Creative Research. The institute received $20,000 in 2023 and again in 2025 for general support, with another $10,000 grant in 2024. That kind of repetition shows a foundation that returns to selected organizations over multiple years. The foundation’s grantmaking also reaches outside the arts. In 2024, it funded St Vincent Hospital Foundaton with $20,000 for The Healing Garden, linking its giving to therapeutic, place-based work. In 2025, it gave $15,000 to New Mexico Wildlife Center for turtle enclosure and repairs, which fits a broader pattern of hands-on facility and care support. Alongside those larger awards, the foundation makes many grants around the $5,000 to $6,000 range, suggesting a steady, targeted approach across arts, health, wildlife, and related community services. Recent recipients also include national medical relief, homelessness services, and youth programs, showing a portfolio that mixes specialized projects with practical support for service organizations.
Creative arts research is a recurring theme. The foundation gave $20,000 in 2023 and another $20,000 in 2025 to Oregon Institute for Creative Research for general support, plus $10,000 in 2024, making that organization one of its clearest recurring recipients. Therapeutic and place-based health projects also appear in the recent record. St Vincent Hospital Foundaton received $20,000 in 2024 for The Healing Garden, tying one grant to a specific healing-space project. Wildlife care is another visible line of giving. In 2025, New Mexico Wildlife Center received $15,000 for turtle enclosure and repairs, while Animal Protection of New Mexico received $5,000 for support of chimpanzee. The foundation also supports youth-related programming: National Jewish Health received $5,000 in 2024 for Summer Camp Program and another $5,000 in 2025 for Morgridge Academy Summer.
Typical grants cluster tightly: the 25th percentile is $4,500, the median is $5,000, and the 75th percentile is $6,000. That distribution matches a foundation that uses modest, project-level awards rather than large transactions. The recent list also shows repeat support across years for several recipients, including organizations funded in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The foundation is structured as a family foundation and does not fund individuals. The record also points to program-specific, operating, and maintenance-oriented grants rather than a single grant-making mechanism.
