The Jernigan Foundation invests in solutions that empower the vulnerable, at-risk, and defenseless toward a flourishing future.
We do that in places we love, live and work, including:
~Washington state;
~Hawaii’s Big Island; and
~Internationally in South Africa, India, and Uganda.
We will occasionally consider requests from organizations in other international countries,
if their mission and work fits with our mission.
Some of our current grantees are:
Caring for widows and orphans in their distress (James 1:27)
by building them houses in India, Nepal, and Zambia
Providing young people training that leads to a living wage job
and career in the hospitality industry
Fighting sexual exploitation and trafficking
in Washington state
Providing holistic care for refugees
and under-resourced families and children in Lebanon
Providing trade skill education to young mothers
so they can provide for their families
Bringing the NED show to underprivileged kids on the Big Island
(NED stands for Never Give Up, Encourage Others, and Do Your Best!)
Preventing child sex Trafficking in Hawaiʻi
and caring for those who have been exploited
Training and discipling at-risk children and young people
in music, evangelism, leadership, and international ambassadorship
