The long-term thinking that guides JLS Capital also shapes our commitment to the community, through the John Jezzini Family Foundation.
The John Jezzini Family Foundation expands opportunity, stability and economic mobility through need-based scholarships, community grants and disaster relief.
Rather than committing to a single fixed cause, the Foundation evaluates communities and organizations case by case, supporting those whose work aligns with its values.
Each program addresses a different moment in a person’s or a community’s path: learning, growing and rebuilding.
Opening doors through education
Need-based scholarships that help students pursue degrees, technical training and professional certifications by removing financial barriers to higher education.
Strengthening the organizations that strengthen communities
Partnerships with nonprofits focused on education, mentorship, youth development, family support, workforce readiness and access to essential resources.
Helping communities recover and rebuild
Immediate assistance and long-term recovery support for communities affected by natural disasters, humanitarian crises and emergencies.
