Jack and Jill of America Foundation Inc

There’s Power in Our Voice!

We were born out of fortitude of the Black mother and stabilized on the Black father's courage and strength.  We were cultivated out of the segregation of the Civil Rights Movement after being refused a seat at the table…so, we built our own. And, today, we support more than 40,000 voices across 200 communities of Black families who, simply in their existence, speak truth to power every time they find the strength to keep moving.

This is an ongoing fight for justice. As the world grapples with the impact of the pandemic and communities contend with health, economic and systemic disparities, we encourage everyone reading this message to, GO VOTE, complete the 2020 Census, and never underestimate the power of your voice!  

The Foundation will continue to galvanize around our focused goals to advance educational opportunities, improve health and wellness resources, and build strong families to persevere this fight for justice and equality.  To those who are searching for what to say and analyzing how to be an ally, now is not the time to lead, but to listen. Black leaders have been carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders and need to be heard. To Jack and Jill members, Board of Trustees, donors, and friends, we thank you – for your courage, your strength, and your dedication. You, too, sing America, and we are grateful.

Join us on this journey. For over five decades, Jack and Jill Foundation has amplified the voices of those least considered and last heard, and we encourage all allies to stand with us as we aspire to effectuate sustainable change across our nation.
