The
Jason Mitchell Foundation is a tax deductible, nonprofit
organization and recognized by IRS 501(c)(3)
requirements.
The Jason Mitchell Foundation will hold
annual fundraising to assist with funding for
scholarship awards and annual donations to those
individuals who have exhibited a need. Whether it
is a scholarship applicant and/or a homeless shelter,
"No One Will Be Left Behind."
The
purpose of the Foundation is to extend a
hand and make sure "No One Is Left
Behind". The application process is the
key to our Foundation's mission. It
enables a wide variety of people who
could not otherwise have an opportunity
to apply when marginal. Our Foundation
is a multi cultural organization founded
in memory of our beloved son to enhance
the development of young adults. This
involves motivation of their spiritual
well-being, quest for education and
development of their self-esteem. Our
Foundation will reward young adults,
through fund-raising and voluntary
donations, who have shown exceptional
personal courage, drive, initiative and
motivation in the face of adversity; and
to encourage them to continue beating
the odds. A monetary gift award
averaging $500.00 per recipient will
be given annually based on the
Foundation's criteria. The Foundation
will present monetary gifts to the most
deserving young adult(s) in any area
where the individual has exhibited a
need.
The
Foundation will publicize through
newspapers, magazines and various other
publications that provide lists of
available monetary gifts and
scholarships and their criteria for
eligibility.
Established in 2004, the Foundation is a
lasting tribute to our son "Jason". Jason was known for his concern of helping
the less fortunate, caring for homeless men, women and children, education at
all levels, compassion for animals and the well being of society. His wish was
to travel abroad to Africa and help with the personal development of those less
fortunate. We believe by encouraging volunteer involvement in fund raising
effort and beyond, his memory will live on through the work of the Foundation by
making a difference in the lives of many.
