The Foundation is dedicated to protecting the financial assets, increasing those assets through safe investments and encouraging new and ongoing financial donations. We also provide grants to Junior Chamber chapters, state organizations and the national organization, JCIUSA. We seek grant applications from Jaycee organizations in The United States to better themselves as leaders, their communities and to grow their membership. We are also the custodians and preservers of the 106-year history of The United States Junior Chamber of Commerce.
