What is the Janesville Area Foundation?

The Janesville Area Foundation (JAF) gives area residents the opportunity to build charitable funds for their community. Contributions are invested in the Janesville Area Foundation Fund.  Investment earnings from this fund are used to make grants to qualified organizations for projects and programs in the Janesville area. This offers a way to put charitable dollars to work in your own backyard. The Janesville Area Foundation partners with the Waseca Area Foundation through its affiliation with the Minnesota Philanthropy Partners. Please explore this website to gain an understanding of our impact on our community and area.
