We help you find organizations working on issues you care about and give you timely information so you can direct your dollars, time, and skills in ways that change lives. 

We ensure each gift you make builds on those from other local donors so that, as a whole community, we work in harmony to build the services and supports needed for all who live here to thrive.

We are building a life in Jefferson County and part of that for us is connecting with and supporting local nonprofits. Opening a Donor Advised Fund at JCF made sense because we can learn from its community knowledge. We also appreciate JCF’s commitment to bringing a wide range of voices and organizations to the table to forge solutions as well as its ability to pivot quickly to address emerging needs. Bottom line is we give better when we give through JCF!

KATE ROOSEVELT & CAROLINE MAILLARD

We feel deeply connected and knowledgeable about our community but in a situation like COVID-19, we cannot foresee the future. We simply don’t know what segments of the population will be hit hardest. We trust Jefferson Community Foundation to respond to the shifting terrain and make necessary funding decisions nimbly.

ANONYMOUS JCF FUNDHOLDER

One cannot undervalue the importance of having a centralized organization that brings nonprofits and resources together to create a broad network of community-based support. Other nonprofits are, rightly, focused at a more granular level on their mission. JCF focuses more broadly and supports the whole county, by facilitating services to those in need and to those who serve the community.
