The Jackson Community Foundation aims to encourage youth as philanthropists and to build enduring funds addressing youth-related needs in each community. Inspired by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, it focuses on nurturing philanthropic leadership among youth and supporting initiatives benefiting Jackson County's younger population.
The So All Youth Can Play Sports Grant Round is designed to make participation in sports accessible to young people who might not have the financial means to afford such activities. This initiative emphasizes the importance of sports in fostering teamwork, discipline, and personal growth among youths. The goal is to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent children and teenagers from benefiting from the experiences and lessons sports can offer.
