The Dennis M. Jones Family Foundation (Foundation) and the Institute for Private Investors (IPI) are delighted to announce the fourth year of the Jones Prize in Philanthropy.
In 2020 the Jones Prize is a $35,000 grant and two distinguished honoree grants of $15,000 each. The grants will be gifted to charities that have been aided by the efforts of an individual who has demonstrated exceptional work in philanthropy.
The Jones Prize is dedicated to Dennis Jones, a 15-year member of IPI. Dennis believed the call to giving and service was the highest honor. The Dennis M. Jones Family Foundation will fund this award.
The Jones Prize is given in the spirit of:
- Inspiring personal giving and volunteering: Dennis wanted to lift up philanthropists whose passion is helping others, not only monetarily, but with their time.
- Neediest cases: The foundation’s trustees encourage all applicants, particularly those involved in Education, Helping Veterans, Aiding the Homeless, and Fighting Poverty.
