Review Criteria

Preference will be given to organizations with a history of support from us, those involving active participation by a Jewelers Mutual employee, or those that closely adhere to our grantmaking guidelines. Although minor contributions ($250 or less) will still be made, our focus will be on these preferred entities. Additionally, we aim to support nationwide organizations by donating to their local branches.
