Our Vision
The Norman Foundation envisions a future where all people live with dignity and self-determination.
Our Mission
The Norman Foundation supports social justice movements that build power among people most impacted by social inequality.
How we work
Guiding Principles
Dignity & Self-Determination
We support organizations that advance community-driven solutions and amplify voices historically excluded from decision-making.
Systemic Change
We fund community-led organizations seeking to transform systems that disproportionately harm low-income people and people of color.
Movement Building
We support interconnected organizations that fuel social justice movements and shift power and resources to marginalized communities.
Risk-taking & Innovation
We invest in organizations early in their development and those creating new strategies and tactics to advance social change.
Leadership Development
We invest in organizations that build pathways for community members to become changemakers, advocates, and leaders.
