FOCUS AREAS

The Jernigan Foundation invests in organizations in the Thurston County area, Washington state, and Internationally that fall into the following three focus areas.

YOUTH

We believe young people are amazing and they deserve hope, life and a future. We invest in organizations that are helping youth thrive – especially youth who have had a rough go in life.

EDUCATION

We believe education is one of the keys to success in life. We provide access to education for those who may not have the opportunity or resources to obtain it.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING

We believe every human has the right to be free from slavery and harmful uses of their body. We invest in organizations that loose the chains of injustice and bring freedom to the captives.
