Philanthropy in Perpetuity
Join me in filling and making an uplifting difference in people's lives.
Inspiring A Legacy of Service
JARFUL is a charitable foundation dedicated to fulfilling a lasting legacy of service and goodwill and uplifting people's lives. The founder, Jennifer A. Rollins, has a vision to support service to the nation, community, and others. At the same time, it encourages synergistic efforts that propel positivity, maturity, and self-improvement. After a year as Ms. Veteran America's 2023 Second Runner-up, she was inspired to establish this foundation to accelerate philanthropy in perpetuity and ensure ongoing generosity and goodness even after she is gone.
Please help us fill our jar and make an uplifting difference in the lives of others. The South Dakota Community Foundation is accepting JARFUL donations. Upon reaching $10,000, applications for organizations to receive an apportioned benefit from these funds will perpetuate yearly.
