The Jack and Jill of America Foundation is the oldest African American-led nonprofit organization in the United States and serves as the philanthropic arm of Jack and Jill of America Inc. With a mission to address issues affecting African American children and families, the foundation invests in programs and services that create a strong foundation for children to thrive long-term. They prioritize three critical areas: African American families, education, and health and wellness, and aim to make a positive impact on the community by supporting programs and services that address critical needs.
The foundation has a strong focus on providing access to quality education, regardless of background or zip code, and supports organizations that offer educational opportunities for underserved communities, particularly African American students. Additionally, they recognize the importance of health and wellness in overall well-being and support programs that promote healthy lifestyles, increase access to healthcare services, and address health disparities that disproportionately affect African Americans. Through their efforts, they aim to transform African American communities one child at a time and make a difference in the lives of children and families in need.
