Our Philosophy

Jack and Jill of America Foundation, Inc. believes that leaders are made, not born.

The Foundation supports programs that not only create opportunities and challenges for children to learn and practice leadership skills, but also build leadership character in youth. The ultimate goal of every Foundation grant dollar is to empower young people to make the right life choices.

Jack and Jill of America Foundation, Inc. has a tradition of putting young people first.

Through its five grant programs, the Foundation makes an impact on shaping tomorrow's leaders. The Foundation awards grants to community initiatives, Jack and Jill of America local chapter service projects, and non-profit agencies serving children.

Preparing succeeding generations of young people as leaders, in all walks of life, is central to the Foundation's grant making philosophy.
