About Daniel B and Florence E Green Foundation

Giving is regionally attuned to the Philadelphia area but also supports a major national research university; grants are typically general operating gifts rather than project-specific awards. The portfolio reflects a preference for established organizations addressing education/research, youth services through sports, and affordable housing/community development.
