Jefferson   Community   Foundation   (JCF)   helps   build   a   thriving Jefferson   County   by   providing   easy   and   flexible   ways   for   local donors   to   make   their   charitable   investments.   We   understand the   landscape   of   local   nonprofits   and   community   needs.   By connecting   people   to   have   greater   impact,   JCF’s   goal   is   to   help the   region   realize   its   fullest   potential.   JCF   believes   in   the   power of    community    to    collectively    solve    problems.    With    funding, networks    and    knowledge    to    make    this    possible,    along    with connections     to     diverse     community     stakeholders,     JCF     is uniquely   positioned   to   pull   together   the   people   and   resources needed to catalyze positive social change.

We   are   a   local   nonprofit   dedicated   to   creating   home and     community     for     adults     with     developmental disabilities    in    Jefferson    County    by    providing    safe affordable   housing   opportunities   with   staff   support so   adults   with   developmental   disabilities   can   live   in their      community      as      valued      and      contributing members     instead     of     in     institutions     and     other segregated    settings.    Our    goal    is    to    help    aging parents   and   caregivers   develop   a   plan   for   housing before they are in crisis.
