At the Jasper Newton Foundation, we're proud to support local partners, like Lirio Resources, Inc., who turn our grants into life-changing opportunities.

"Thanks to the Jasper Newton Foundation's grant award, we've introduced innovative technology into our Adult Day Program, helping participants build real-world skills through engaging, hands-on experiences. Individuals are gaining confidence, strengthening teamwork, and applying what they learn to become more independent in their daily lives. We're proud to see this impact extend beyond our program and into the communities we serve!"

Through community investment, we're helping our neighbors build the confidence and independence they need to thrive. Together, we are building a stronger, more inclusive community for everyone.

The future business leaders of Rensselaer Central High School are achieving exciting things thanks to your support! 💼 💚 💙

"Five of our students represented our school at the Business Professionals of America National Leadership Conference held last May -- one of the most prestigious achievements a BPA member can attain. Competing against thousands of students from across the country, our team delivered performances that brought outstanding recognition to our chapter.

At the Conference, the Network Design Team earned a 10th-place finish in the nation, an exceptional accomplishment in one of the BPA's most technically demanding events, and their Graphic Design Project entry placed in the top 50% in the nation in an extremely competitive field!"

Your gifts to our education grants help students gain these valuable, real-world experiences and prepare them to become the leaders our communities need!
