The Jernigan Foundation invests in organizations in places we love, live and work, including:
~Thurston County, WA;
~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 directly fits our mission and focus areas.
Our three focus areas are:
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.
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.
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.
