Projects Supported
Since its reorganization in 2002, Norway House Foundation has granted numerous fellowships to Norwegian graduate students, made grants for Norwegian cultural activities and for educational seminars focusing on Norwegian–American educational and scientific projects.
Norwegian Seamen’s Church in San Francisco
The Norway House Foundation supports the many cultural, educational, and social programs put on by the church. People new to the Bay Area and people who have lived here for many decades attend these events. Kudos to the staff and many volunteers
Networking Events
The Norway House Foundation organizes three networking events annually for students and business professionals to get together and exchange ideas. In November 2024, the event occurred at the Norwegian Club in San Francisco with a presentation from Morten Hansen - The Race to the South Pole - Lessons in Leadership.
