Vision
 

Our Mission

The Nord Family Foundation, in the tradition of its founders, Walter and Virginia Nord, endeavors to build community through support of projects that bring opportunity to the disadvantaged, strengthen the bond of families, and improve the quality of people’s lives.

Program Areas of Concentration

The Nord Family Foundation is interested in programs that strengthen families and improve public service.  Grants are awarded in the fields of Health and Social Services, Education, Arts and Culture, and Civic Affairs.  High priority is given to programs that address the needs of economically or socially disadvantaged families.  Projects that attack root causes of social problems are also of special interest. 

In general, the Foundation’s grants are not awarded in support of:

bullet Debt reduction
bullet Research projects
bullet Tickets or advertising for fundraising activities
bullet Individuals

Grants are occasionally made for capital purposes when specific criteria are met. 

Geographic Emphasis

The Foundation awards grants in several geographic areas, but most are made to organizations within Lorain County, Ohio or projects that will have an impact there.  Grants that specially address the Foundation’s mission and themes are also made in Cuyahoga County, Ohio; Denver, Colorado; Columbia, South Carolina; Boston, Massachusetts; and very selectively to national organizations.
