The Jin Hua Foundation
Mission Statement
Established in memory of Jin Hua, the mission of The Jin Hua Foundation is to support organizations, which through direct service, research, and advocacy, are helping to advance the quality of life for children and adults, especially senior citizens.
The Foundation will focus on those living in underserved communities or suffering from diseases that, in our view, lack sufficient attention and support. Grants will be made primarily in the areas of healthcare and early childhood.
In healthcare, the Foundation will fund cutting-edge research, advocacy, education and clinical services. For 2016 and the foreseeable future, the Foundation will concentrate its efforts on asthma, although other areas of healthcare may be considered.
Early Childhood Education
In early childhood, the Foundation will support schools and programs in its home community of Bergen County, NJ, as well as initiatives that target disadvantaged populations. In most cases, the Foundation will seek out small and mid-sized organizations of excellence, where its support can have significant impact.
Guidelines
- The Foundation does not accept proposals, but will be seeking non-profit partners that will help it to fulfill its mission and where its funding can leverage additional support.
- There will be no limit on grant size or the duration of grant-funding, as this will be determined by the Foundation’s board and staff on a case-by-case basis.
- On occasion, multi-year pledges will be made depending on the project.
- The Foundation does not support individuals.
- There is no specific grant cycle and grants will be made year-round.
