Jefferson Community Foundation understands the landscape —trends, obstacles, and opportunities— of community need and keeps abreast of efforts that will enable all people to thrive. We know which local nonprofits are focused on which issues, which initiatives are gaining momentum and creating change, which are not, and where service gaps exist.
JCF shares this unique insight with the nonprofit sector to increase the effectiveness of ongoing efforts, and with local donors to help inform charitable decisions with the greatest possible impact. We administer charitable funds on behalf of donors —facilitating grantmaking and reporting— and utilize administrative fees to provide a suite of support services and resources to local nonprofits.
