  • Foundation Trustees become knowledgeable grant-makers by participating in grant cycle planning, due diligence and grant determinations.
  • Each Trustee has an equal voice and vote on all grant-making, financial and policy divisions.
  • Trustees participate in Foundation operations and oversight of the Foundation’s’ finances and endowment.
  • The JWF fosters individual relationships, develops leadership skills and advances community connections.
