The Ann Arbor Jaycees Foundation

supports Washtenaw County's present and future through charitable means.   The Foundation was formed in 1995 to act as a non-profit tax-deductible (501c3) fiduciary for Jaycees projects such as the AIDS Memorial Quilt, The Fourth of July Parade, and Food Baskets.  Since then, the Foundation has been raising funds to achieve an endowment goal of $50,000.  This was obtained in 2005, leaving the Board of Trustees to develop its granting policies, guidelines and application processes in 2006.  The first cycle for grant applications began in the Spring of 2007 and continues today.

Objectives of the Foundation are:

• Providing leadership training through community service,
• Attracting and growing permanently endowed funds from a wide range of donors,
• Acting at the fiscal agent for projects to further the goals of the Jaycees movement, and
• Awarding grants to qualified organization that promote training development.
