Purpose

The JESF Foundation, Incorporated primarily serves individuals and families in the South Suburban Chicago community. The Foundation offers opportunities for growth and development by enhancing health, education, arts, community development, and the lives of black families.

Our Scholars

Additionally, the JESF Foundation, Incorporated provides scholarships for deserving area high school students looking to pursue a career in higher education.

By alleviating the financial stress associated with attending a college or university, many of our scholarship recipients attend some of the top schools in the country. They excel in their studies and make sincere efforts to give back through their own student-led initiatives. Many are working toward STEM Degrees, partaking in research opportunities, leading student organizations, serving populations in need, and even studying abroad.
