About Us
The Minnesota Jaycees Charitable Foundation was established in 1973
to provide finanical flexiblity to the Minnesota Jaycees' educational, charitable,
religious, and scientific endeavors.
In the early years, the Foundation awarded grants in the areas of environment,
chemical dependency, corrections, and mental health. In
1976, as a part of the Governor's Aesthetic Environment Program, the
Foundation awarded $5,000 in grants to chapters generating over
$48,000 worth of tree planting.
Again in 1979, the Foundation
received a $9,000 grant from the the Minnesota Department of
Agriculture and distributed these funds to 30 chapters generating over
$35,000 worth of new trees planted during Arbor Month.
Through the years the Foundation has supported the Minnesota
Jaycees through various efforts.
In the early 80’s, plans began to take
shape to build a State Service Center. Plans were finalized and the
building became reality.
In the 90’s, the Foundation became involved in Charitable Pull Tabs to
generate revenue. Through the effort of the hundreds of Minnesota
Jaycees and chapters, the mortgage for the State Service Center was
finally paid off in 2003.
The Foundation continues to be an evolving
entity with its main focus of supporting the Minnesota Jaycees.
A contribution to the Minnesota Jaycees Charitable Foundation is an
investment in the future of both the Minnesota Jaycees and the
communities they serve within the state of Minnesota. |
