Justamere Foundation Our goal is to remove barriers that are keeping hard working people from being fully self-sufficient. We support programs that are addressing these obstacles, big and small, in a way that opens a path to self-reliance. The Justamere Foundation is dedicated to working with our community partners to find innovative ways to help our neighbors through education, coaching, and connections. 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. We focus on four main areas of need in our community: 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. How do we support these areas? Non-Traditional ScholarshipsGrants that make a real impact Grants That Make a Real Impact Sometimes the barrier to success is not having the tools that will get you there. Schools can’t train someone to drive a forklift if they don’t have a forklift. As they wait for funds to arrive, they could have been training hundreds of people for a better paying job. We’re looking for those impact opportunities that might not fall under standard grant programs.
