Our Story

Built on the principle of mutuality, JN Foundation gives back to the Jamaican people and communities across the island.

The JN Foundation was established in 1990 as the charitable arm of the Jamaica National Group (JN Group). Our mandate is to manage and execute the philanthropic efforts of the Group, and contribute to the developmental needs of Jamaica. Built on the concept of mutuality, JN Foundation gives back to the Jamaican people and communities across the island, by providing financial and technical support to projects and programmes both at the community and at the national level.

Learn about the history , the philosophy, vision and activities of the #JNFoundation and how you can get involved.
