Chairman's Report
Over the twenty years since its establishment, the Jamaica National Building Society Foundation has become one of the island’s leading developmental agencies, renowned for innovating, inspiring and impacting initiatives that positively impact the lives of Jamaicans at home and in the Diaspora.
Through partnerships with JN Group subsidiaries, NGOs, international aid agencies, local funders and other private sector organisations, the JNBS Foundation continues to create, support and implement projects and programmes that focus on sustainable local and national advancement. The work of the JNBS Foundation places special emphasis on regenerating rural communities across the island, to provide greater opportunities to marginalised groups within the society. Financial and technical support was provided to community-based and other organisations during the
2010/2011 financial year.
With roots deeply entrenched in rural Jamaica, JNBS through its Foundation, remains committed to
rural regeneration through the following themes:
• ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
• ARTS, CULTURE AND HERITAGE
• YOUTH AND EDUCATION
• HEALTH, SECURITY AND SAFETY
