Inspiring hearts,
impacting lives
The JPS Foundation (JPSF) was developed as the philanthropic arm of the Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) in 2012. We are central to the expansion of our parent company’s corporate social responsibility and sustainability efforts. To achieve this, we have undertaken initiatives spanning several areas of national development, including community renewal, education and environmental impact.
2016 was a defining year for us: we were recognised as a charity. Following this we underwent an organisational shift, which included our establishment as a distinct entity in 2023.
Since embarking on our strategic plan, our present focal points are Climate Resilience, Community Empowerment, and STEM Education. These all fall under our broad theme of Building Thriving Communities.
To advance these goals, we liaise with individuals and groups of like vision. Our partners include volunteers, public and private sector organisations, and international entities. We look forward to a future where we, along with our partners, consistently promote sustainable nation-building.
