The Jenzabar Foundation

The mission of The Jenzabar Foundation is to recognize and support the good works and humanitarian efforts of student leaders serving others across the global community. The Foundation seeks to foster a culture of service and to educate and inspire future generations to create a better world.

To accomplish its mission, The Jenzabar Foundation issues grants to institutions of higher education and other non-profit organizations with similarly aligned missions, and helps promote the activities of grant recipients within their communities and on a global level. The Foundation is incorporated as a charitable, non-governmental, non-profit, private foundation that receives its funding from the corporation whose name it bears— Jenzabar, Inc. Foundation grants are managed by the Foundation itself or through partner organizations.

The Jenzabar Foundation has emerged out of a history of corporate giving and a deep sense of community support and philanthropy imparted through the company’s founders and executive management. Jenzabar, Inc. established a grant program in 2006, and issued nearly 250 grants in 2007 to institutions of higher education in support of service-based student activities, and to non-profit organizations involved in education and social welfare. The company has now taken this a step further with the formal establishment of The Jenzabar Foundation.

------------------------------------------
The nomination deadline for The Jenzabar Foundation 2008 Student Leadership Awards has been extended to September 22, 2008. Fall is a busy time of year on college and university campuses as students return and the fall semester gets underway. In an effort to allow students, faculty, and staff ample time to submit nominations, The Jenzabar Foundation will accept nominations through September 22.

The Jenzabar Foundation 2008 Student Leadership Awards will recognize seven student groups and their respective leaders who have exemplified a commitment to making a difference in the world through community service, either through ongoing activities or through the completion of a project during the 2007-2008 academic year. The Foundation will give seven grants of $5,000 to each of the recognized student activities.

The Jenzabar Foundation is asking for nominations from a representative of the institution within which the student activity operates. However, student groups are welcome to apply for the grants on their own. Criteria and application information may be by clicking here.
