Philanthropy
Philanthropic giving is at the heart of the Phoenix Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated. Through intentional giving and service, we support educational and community initiatives that empower future leaders.
Our chapter proudly contributes to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Gap Funds, helping bridge financial barriers for students at historically Black colleges and universities so they can continue pursuing their dreams.
We also champion the Loose Change for Change campaign — a national Jack and Jill initiative that turns small acts of giving into meaningful impact. Every coin and contribution helps fund scholarships, youth programs, and community service projects that uplift children and families nationwide.
Together, we give with purpose and make a lasting difference — one student, one family, and one community at a time.
