Green Family Foundation Gives $10 Million Boost to FIU Community Medicine Program
Date:6/2/2009

ampions of local higher education and FIU. For more than two decades, they have supported FIU's Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum by underwriting the Steven & Dorothea Green Critics' Lecture Series. In 1997, a $2.5 million gift by the Greens established endowments for the museum and the Green Library at University Park, which FIU named after Steven and Dorothea Green in recognition of their generosity.

"At FIU we have a long history of doing great things for the community together with the Green family," said FIU President Modesto A. Maidique. "This latest example of their generosity and vision will impact generations of doctors and patients in deep and meaningful ways -- in South Florida and beyond."

Founded in 1991 by Steven J. Green, former United States Ambassador to Singapore, the Green Family Foundation is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting social programs that positively impact global health and alleviate poverty.

Currently, the Foundation supports several programs in South Florida, including Youth Expressions, a not-for-profit program committed to helping at-risk urban youth in Miami. Overseen by President Kimberly Green, GFF, in collaboration with the Earth Institute at Columbia University, is funding the Millennium Village Project (MVP) in Haiti, which is a community-driven program tackling the toughest challenges of extreme poverty in order to achieve the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals and eradicate extreme poverty by 2015. Within the MVP effort, GFF also supports and funds the Green Family Community Health program at Project Medishare, an organization that executes many of the surgical and medical care trips to Haiti through the community health programs and is a hands-on service delivery program in rural Haiti. GFF contributes to Medishare, by helping to empower rural Haitians to implement their community-based medical delivery program.
