It's time for you to lead with ACT!ON. Support Jamaica today so that we can all be better off tomorrow!
Introduction
To develop a modern, progressive nation, the presence of a vibrant small and medium enterprise sector is essential: small businesses stimulate the economy through increased employment, increased taxes and greater innovation. In Jamaica, the small business sector is essential to national development. The JN Foundation has been supporting this sector by offering financial grants, increased access to business support services and training opportunities to community businesses, otherwise known as social enterprises. A Social Enterprise is a for profit with not for profit organisation, set up by a group of people who see a gap within their communities that needs to be filled. With the support given by the Foundation, groups have been able to address local social issues whilst increasing employment within their communities, and generating income in often-isolated areas. We have taken this support of the small business sector one step further by partnering with I-Support Jamaica – a project geared at increasing access to financial resources for small businesses across Jamaica.
Through I-Support Jamaica, people all across the world will be able to open up access to credit lines to serve the very small, start-up entrepreneurs through loans or grants. It provides a way for persons to connect to their dreams and passions by helping someone to realise their own dreams in business. It's an easy way of bringing together people with a common passion to help an individual. In addition to providing loans to entrepreneurs, Isupportjamaica.com will also facilitate donations and grants to organisations, schools or projects within Jamaica, in need of assistance, with all donations and gifts to these entities being managed through the Foundation.
