WELCOME TO THE JACK AND JILL OF AMERICA FOUNDATION
Celebrating Over 57 Years of Impact
Welcome to the official website of the Jack and Jill of America Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Jack and Jill of America Inc. For more than 57 years, we have been a trusted advocate for children and families in under-resourced communities—working to ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive.
Founded by members committed to uplifting African American communities, the Foundation continues to champion equity in education, health, and economic opportunity for children facing systemic barriers.
Our mission is to address systemic barriers affecting underserved children and families by investing in programs and services that build strong foundations for long-term success.
Our signature fundraising celebration, Legacy In Bloom, showcases the power of philanthropy, the strength of our collective efforts, and the lasting impact we are making together. Witness how your support helps us plant seeds of hope, opportunity, and generational transformation.
“Since the beginning of my college journey, scholarships helped me pay for most of my college expenses, but many times they didn’t cover everything. As I was nearing graduation, I was hit with an unpaid fee. I was starting to stress about it when I received an email saying that I had been selected to receive assistance from the Jack and Jill of America Foundation College Gap Fund. My fees would be fully covered. I was so elated that I called my mom screaming the good news on the phone. The Fund came through for me in the nick of time. This support meant I could focus on graduating without worrying about how I was going to pay. I am super grateful for JJOAF closing the financial gap.”
