Grants to Ohio nonprofit organizations for programs and services that support educational activities for residents of all age groups in Lorain County. Funding is specifically intended for educational experiences that promote higher education and economic independence. Funding is also provided for welfare, arts and culture, and civic activities.
The Nordson Foundation is dedicated to improving local communities by supporting the continuum of education from birth to adulthood in the belief that education is the key for individuals to become productive members of society.
