Jackson National Life Insurance Company® (Jackson®), the main
operating subsidiary of Jackson Financial Inc.1 (NYSE: JXN), today
announced it has awarded nearly $700,000 to nonprofits serving the
communities where Jackson has offices: Lansing, Michigan;
Nashville, Tennessee; and Chicago, Illinois. This announcement is
the first of Jackson’s biannual grant funding program for 2023.
These grants will be used to support a variety of initiatives led
by the nonprofit recipients, including providing homeownership
assistance and helping address the needs of children who have been
abused or exposed to violence.
“Jackson is proud to award grants to this group of deserving
recipients that will have an immediate and long-term impact on the
communities we’re proud to call home,” said Danielle Robinson,
Assistant Vice President, Corporate Philanthropy at Jackson. “The
important work each of these organizations do directly aligns with
Jackson’s commitment to support nonprofits that strengthen families
and increase economic opportunities.”
Among the deserving recipients is Habitat for Humanity Capital
Region in Lansing, which works to build strength, stability and
self-reliance through shelter, believing in a world where everyone
has a decent place to live. The Jackson grant will help fund the
nonprofit’s homeownership program, which provides down payment
assistance and access to affordable mortgages for qualified
families with income below 80% of area median income.
“The Jackson grant funds allow Habitat for Humanity Capital
Region to serve more families throughout Ingham and Eaton counties
with affordable homeownership opportunities,” said Jordan
Schellinger, Homeowner Services Director for Habitat for Humanity
Capital Region. “Homeownership leads to numerous outcomes that
extend beyond the house, such as greater economic stability, access
to quality education, increased civic and social engagement, better
health and a reduced environmental footprint. With this support,
Habitat for Humanity Capital Region offers families stability
through shelter, which benefits children through consistency in
schooling and minimized disruptions to their education.”
Jackson is also honored to support Nashville Children’s
Alliance, an organization that provides healing and justice for
children in Davidson County who have been abused or exposed to
violence. The Jackson grant will assist the nonprofit in funding
the Child Protective Investigative Team (CPIT) and Forensic
Interviews program, both of which help address the needs of abused
children from investigation and prosecution to additional support
or resources the families may need.
“Nashville Children’s Alliance sees children and families during
what could be the darkest time of their lives,” said Dawn Harper,
Chief Executive Officer for Nashville Children’s Alliance. “We are
proud to partner with Jackson to help bring light back into their
lives.”
Jackson’s biannual grant program is a critical component of its
corporate philanthropy efforts. Nonprofit organizations in the
Lansing, Chicago or Nashville areas interested in applying for a
grant from Jackson are encouraged to submit an application for
consideration by visiting the company’s website. Jackson has
contributed more than $80 million to nonprofits since 2007, and
Jackson associates volunteer thousands of hours annually with
nonprofits nationwide.
