Green Sims Williams Family Foundation is a Jacksonville, Florida, organization focused on supporting homeless and underprivileged children through education. Its mission is to help meet children’s educational needs by providing essential supplies, while its broader objective is to encourage success and contribute to reducing poverty and violence in the community. The foundation’s vision emphasizes inspiring young people to pursue higher education through scholarships, continued encouragement, and support.

A central program provides backpacks filled with school supplies, helping children prepare for and continue their education. The foundation also describes returning in December to replenish supplies for the remainder of the school year. Its work is supported by families, small-business owners, community volunteers, and donors, and the organization invites people to contribute their time, skills, and resources. Visitors can learn about its history, board of directors, finances, partnerships, and activities, as well as take action through volunteering or donations. The foundation is based in Jacksonville and also promotes the Literary Indulgence Book Festival, scheduled for July 18, 2026.
