Emergency Grants
Recognizing that our community-based grant recipients have faced new hardships with the global pandemic, the JA Community Foundation established the JACF COVID-19 Emergency Grant Program in 2020 and 2021 to provide immediate financial relief to previous grantees.
We awarded the first round of grants in April to organizations focused on essential services for seniors. We then opened up a second round of emergency grants in July to all previous JACF grantees. We appreciate the critical work being done in the community by each one of our grant recipients and are proud to support these organizations and offer our assistance.
