Overview

The Justamere Foundation focuses on removing barriers to self-sufficiency by supporting innovative community programs. They prioritize four key areas: trade education, veterans resources, childhood literacy, and arts education. By providing grants and non-traditional scholarships, the foundation aims to empower individuals and create lasting change.

Note:
The Justamere Foundation supports its four main areas of need through 1) Non-Traditional Scholarships; and 2) Grants that make a real impact.It's recommended to connect with the Foundation first before applying to insure your program is within their mission.
We support programs that are addressing these obstacles, big and small, in a way that opens a path to self-reliance.
Small solutions can result in enormous change. The Justamere Foundation’s mission is to find those needs and connect them to the right resources to make the biggest impact.
Areas of Need We Support
The Justamere Foundation’s mission is to find those areas that are underserved by traditional resources and see if we can make a bigger difference with direct involvement. Solutions might involve grants, non-traditional scholarships or simply making the right connection.
Trade Education: Individuals working towards obtaining a family-sustaining income encounter many small barriers that can impede their progress. We’ve partnered with local community colleges and organizations that work to eliminate the barriers.
Veterans Resources: Veterans entering the civilian workforce can struggle to find the right fit. We’re working with organizations to support veterans with this process.
Childhood Literacy: Reading is essential. Fostering a love of reading and learning opens so many doors as children grow up. We support organizations with programs that focus on education and literacy resources for children in underserved areas.
Arts Education: Arts programs inspire and help children express themselves. We support summer and after-school programs in music, art, and theatre.
We’re looking for those impact opportunities that might not fall under standard grant programs.
