Jackson National Life Insurance Company (Jackson®), the main
operating subsidiary of Jackson Financial Inc. (NYSE: JXN), today
announced it has awarded more than $560,000 to nonprofits serving
within communities where Jackson has an office location, including
Lansing, Michigan; Nashville, Tennessee; and Chicago, Illinois. The
announcement is part of Jackson’s biannual grant program and brings
the company’s total 2022 grant contributions to $1,167,000. The
grants will be used to support a variety of initiatives as directed
by the nonprofit recipients, including providing resources for
small business and helping to alleviate hunger and homelessness in
economically challenged communities.
The Allen Neighborhood Center, one of the Lansing-based grant
recipients, serves to provide the eastside community with resources
to improve their health and well-being; expand their capacity to
seize job and entrepreneurial opportunities; create a strong sense
of place, belonging, and community pride; and build a safe,
sustainable, and thriving neighborhood. The Jackson grant will
provide $50,000 to support the creation of a local business hub
offering office space, access to business development workshops and
a shared space for larger meetings, presentations and classes for
small businesses in the community.
“Jackson is thrilled to award Allen Neighborhood Center with a
grant that will have a meaningful impact on Lansing small
businesses,” said Danielle Robinson, assistant vice president,
corporate philanthropy, Jackson. “Jackson is dedicated to enriching
the communities where our associates live and work by supporting
programs that create economic opportunities and Allen Neighborhood
Center is a clear example of an organization built on fulfilling
that mission through their support of entrepreneurs and small
businesses.”
One of the greater Nashville-area grant recipients, GraceWorks,
is a community resource center with a mission to support neighbors
in need. The $25,000 Jackson grant will assist in funding their
critical food and shelter programs, which aim to alleviate hunger
by offering access to their food pantries and provide financial
support to prevent utility disconnection and homelessness to
individuals and families in need.
“As a financially minded organization, Jackson supports
nonprofits that strengthen families by increasing access to
resources that provide stability and build a strong foundation,”
said Robinson. “Our grant program helps us achieve that goal by
providing nonprofits like GraceWorks the resources they need to
make a meaningful impact in our local community.”
Jackson’s biannual grant program is a critical component of its
corporate philanthropy efforts through which the company has
contributed more than $75 million in grants and matching gifts to
nonprofits since 2017. In addition, Jackson associates volunteer
thousands of hours annually with charities nationwide, and 81
associates served on nonprofit boards of directors throughout
2022.
Nonprofit organizations in the Lansing, Chicago or Nashville
area interested in applying for a grant from Jackson are encouraged
to submit an application for consideration by visiting the
company’s website.
