Nordson Corporation
founders created the
Nordson Foundation around
the time of the company’s
establishment based on
the belief that business, as
a corporate citizen, has a
social responsibility to
share its success with the
communities in which it
operates and its employees
live. In 1988, the original
Nordson Foundation was
split into the Nord Family
Foundation and the Nordson
Corporation Foundation.
Today, the philanthropic
spirit of our company
founders lives on in Nordson
Corporation’s commitment
to contribute five percent of
domestic, pretax earnings to
the communities where we
have major operations.
Nordson Corporation Foundation focuses its giving on
education. We believe that for individuals to become
thriving members of society, they must be exposed to a
variety of educational experiences – from early childhood
through adulthood. Therefore, we provide funding to
support educational experiences for people of all ages
with the belief that:
• All individuals deserve access to quality educational
experiences
• Every person deserves a chance to become a self-
sufficient member of society
• A continuum of quality educational opportunities
is needed
While education is our main focus, the Nordson
Corporation Foundation also provides grants to support
arts and culture, civic and human welfare organizations
as a way to further strengthen our communities.

Foundation Grants
Community Affairs
Committees (CACs)
consisting of employees
from different departments
at Nordson Corporation
businesses review grant
requests and recommend
support to nonprofits within
their respective regions.
CACs operate at Nordson
Corporation facilities in
Ohio, Georgia, California
and Rhode Island. Their
recommendations are then
sent to the Foundation’s
board of directors for final
approval. In 2006, the
Foundation awarded
$1,074,165 in grants.
Corporate Gifts
In addition to grants,
Nordson Corporation makes
direct contributions to
community organizations
through event sponsorships
and one-time projects. In
2006, we distributed
$192,658 in corporate gifts.
Employee Matching Gifts
Nordson Corporation
supports our employees’
philanthropic giving through
a program that matches
dollar-for-dollar employee
and retiree contributions to
nonprofits and educational
institutions, up to $6,000
per individual per year. In
2006, Nordson employees
and retirees donated
$351,056 to causes they
care about. With Nordson
Corporation’s match of
those dollars, an additional
$318,916 went to help
our communities.
Employee Volunteerism
Nordson’s employee
volunteer program, Time
‘n Talent, was started in
1993 and has been going
strong ever since. Nearly
every weekend, Nordson
employees can be found
out in their communities
walking to raise money for
a cause, bringing smiles
to children in hospitals,
packing boxes at a food
bank and more. In 2006,
employees spent more
than 6,000 hours helping
nonprofit organizations
by volunteering their time
and talent.

“Kids don’t just learn science fromtext books; they learn it fromhands-on activities. Science Linkteaches them that science is fun.”
– Sarah Mostosi, Critical Hours Resource Coordinator, The Children’s Initiative
The Children’s Initiative
United Way
Yearly campaigns to benefit
the United Way have been
a long-standing tradition at
Nordson facilities. In 2006,
employees in Ohio, Georgia,
California and Rhode Island
gave a combined $233,572
to the United Way. Nordson
Corporation’s dollar-for-
dollar match of employee
contributions meant more
than $467,000 went to
support United Way
agencies.
Technical Assistance
Taskforce
Nonprofit organizations
benefit from more than
just Nordson Corporation
Foundation grants. They
also receive technical
support from our employees,
who lend their expertise
on tasks such as balancing
financial statements and
installing computer systems.
The Nordson Corporation
Foundation’s giving is
concentrated in areas where
the company has major
U.S. operations.
• Ohio – Lorain County
• Georgia – Greater Atlanta,
Dawsonville, Swainsboro,
Norcross and Talladega

College Visions
Everybody Wins! Atlanta
Helping kids become better
readers was the focus of
a $5,000 grant to
Everybody Wins! Atlanta,
an organization dedicated to
improving literacy rates of
elementary school children
in the Atlanta, Georgia,
metropolitan area. The
group’s Power Lunch reading
and mentoring program
pairs a working professional
with a student for lunch-
time reading. When children
are read to on a consistent
basis, they become better
readers themselves and
develop better concentration
and listening skills.

“It is encouraging to see studentsin the Power Lunch program develop and improve their reading skills, forge mentoringrelationships with caring adultsand improve their scores on testsneeded to advance to the nextgrade. We are grateful for theinvestment that Nordson is makingin our community’s youth.”
– Terri Beck, Executive Director, Everybody Wins! Atlanta
College Visions
For first-generation college
bound youth, applying for
college can be a confusing
and overwhelming endeavor.
College Visions is a year-
long program that guides
low-income high school
students in East Providence,
Rhode Island, through the
college admissions process.
College Visions’ services
include research on post-
secondary institutions,
financial aid workshops,
application and essay
writing assistance and
more. A $3,000 grant from
Nordson Corporation
Foundation allowed College
Visions to increase the
number of students in its
program from 20 to 40.
University Circle
Incorporated
Research on child
development and learning
has shown that very young
children retain abstract
concepts better when they
are taught in an object-
based, multi-sensory
manner. University Circle
Incorporated’s community
education department
used this knowledge to
create the Early Learning
Initiative, which integrates
programming at the cultural
and scientific museums
located in Cleveland
Ohio’s University Circle
neighborhood into
the preschool teaching
curriculum. A $31,320
grant from Nordson
Corporation Foundation
enabled all Lorain City
preschools to participate in
the eight-month program.
“The grant from NordsonCorporation Foundation is makingit possible for kids in Lorain County to explore the wonderfulorganizations in University Circleand take part in activities thatenrich the learning process.”
– Diana L. Robbins, Director of Community Education, University Circle Incorporated
The Children’s Initiative
The Children’s Initiative
exists to improve the well
being of youth in San Diego
County, California. The
group’s Science Link
program prepares students
for higher learning by pro-
viding science, math and
technology workshops and
field trips to students in
after-school programs. A
$3,750 grant from Nordson
Corporation Foundation
helped purchase equipment
and supplies and pay for
field trips.
Elyria City Schools
The Foundation provided
a $70,000 grant to the city
schools in Elyria, Ohio, in
order to expand kindergarten
classes from a half day
to a full day in all of the
district’s 13 elementary
schools. Nordson Corporation
Foundation’s grant purchased
the support materials
needed for two of the
schools, which serve 140
students in six classrooms.
Atlanta Ballet
A $5,000 grant to the
Atlanta Ballet supported
its dance education at
Parklane Elementary School
in East Point, Georgia.
Dancers from the company,
which is the nation’s oldest
continuously operating ballet
company, conduct a weekly
mandatory dance lesson
for the school’s 450 plus
students. The program has
had a positive impact on
student behavior, with
the number of disruptive
incidents dropping from
nearly 1,000 a year
to less than 200.

Music Time Learning Center
Music Time Learning Center
in Lawrenceville, Georgia,
uses music education to
enhance learning and
develop a love of music in
children. A $5,000 grant
from Nordson Corporation
Foundation allowed the
group to provide its Raising
Musical Children program
to three low-income day
care centers, reaching
150 children.

Towards Employment
Helping low-income
individuals successfully
enter the workforce and
become self sufficient has
been the mission of Towards
Employment since it began
in 1976. Through training,
placement and ongoing
support services, the agency
has helped 100,000
residents in Cuyahoga
County, Ohio, become and
stay employed. In 2006,
Nordson Corporation
Foundation awarded
Towards Employment a
$20,000, two-year grant for
its Achieve program, which
works with employers to
increase their employee
retention rates and improve
skills so that employees
can advance in their jobs.
“Because of the NordsonCorporation Foundation, we havebeen able to increase the numberof schools we serve as well as trainnew teachers and supply them with teaching materials and instruments. It’s exciting to see aneed in the community and beable to make a difference whiledoing something we love!”
– Mary Beth Frasier, Executive Director, Music Time Learning Center

EInterfaith Community
Services
A $3,750 grant to Interfaith
Community Services in
North San Diego, California,
supported a program that
provides transitional housing
for homeless families. In
addition to a safe place
to live, the program also
assists clients in finding jobs
and teaches them life skills.
Monarch School was
founded in San Diego
County, California, in 1988
to improve the lives of
homeless youth through
education. In addition to
serving as an educational
institution, Monarch pro-
vides its students, who
range in age from eight to
18, with food, clothing,
health and dental care
and counseling. A $3,750
Nordson Corporation
Foundation grant for general
operating support helped
cover educational expenses
for Monarch School’s more
than 150 students.
