JCorps is the proud recipient of 2010 grants from Natan and The Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation. Their grants will enable JCorps to take-on its first paid staff person (see previous post), and to grow JCorps to even more cities and countries.

It should be said that the support The Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation and Natan have been giving JCorps goes far beyond monetary support. Their expert staffs have been helping us with advice, connections, and special events over the past couple of years — long before JCorps was in all the papers — and made us feel like we have a great support team. Their ears and doors were always open to us when we needed advice and their help and encouragement has been invaluable and deeply inspiring. Through programs like ROI, The Lean Years, and special events, we have been made to feel we are part of a great family.
