The Jernigan Foundation was started in 2006 out of a desire to serve together as a family and use the gifts and resources we’ve been given to bless our communities and the world. We have supported many things we are passionate about through the years. VISION We have big goals. We have wild dreams. Our vision is a world full of empowered, flourishing people, families and communities. MISSION To achieve our vision, we invest in solutions that empower the vulnerable, at-risk, and defenseless toward a flourishing future. FOCUS AREAS YOUTH 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. EDUCATION 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. ENDING HUMAN TRAFFICKING We believe every human has the right to be free from slavery and harmful uses of their body. We invest in organizations that lose the chains of injustice and bring freedom to the captives.
