OUR MISSION
Our Mission is to address issues affecting African American children and families, investing in programs and services that create a strong foundation for children to thrive long-term.
INVESTING IN OUR COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION: OUR THREE FOCUS AREAS
Education
African American Families - Housing Insecurity
The issue of housing insecurity poses a critical threat to African-American households in America today
A startling 58% of African-American households rent their homes, leaving them particularly susceptible to instability in the face of rising rental costs and stagnant wages This issue has far-reaching implications for African-American families, communities, and neighborhoods Affordable homeownership can bring benefits not only to individuals and their families but also to the wider community and economy Taking action is crucial, which is why we provide grants to organizations that aim to establish a stable environment for children and families Homeownership can increase community engagement and development, foster social mobility, reduce crime, and enhance the overall value of the community
Education matters because it is the foundation for success and opens doors to opportunities Early education, math skills, and HBCUs play crucial roles in ensuring that all children have access to education and the resources they need to succeed It is our responsibility as a society to invest in education and empower the next generation of leaders
The College GAP Fund
Every year, a number of HBCU students with only 1 or 2 semesters left, don't graduate because of small unpaid bills Jack and Jill College GAP (Graduation Assistance Program) fund was established to ensure students graduate,
Health & Wellness
Health and wellness should matter to everyone, regardless of race, gender, or socioeconomic status
However, it is especially important in the African American community Many African Americans face barriers to accessing affordable healthcare and nutritious food
5 million African American children are living in food deserts with limited access to healthy options, putting them at risk for malnutrition, obesity, and health problems
19% of African Americans lack adequate health insurance, preventing them from accessing preventive care, routine check-ups, and treatment for illnesses and injuries
African Americans spend a higher percentage of their income on healthcare costs, indicating a clear disparity in access to affordable healthcare
48% of African Americans suffer from a chronic disease, a significantly higher percentage than the general population, highlighting the need for better access to affordable healthcare and healthy food options
