Our funding history
JSF is a young, growing organization. In 1992, we funded two projects totaling $2000; in 1996, we funded ten projects for a total of $13,265; in 1998, we funded nine projects for a total of $18,300; and in 2000 we have funded 5 projects for a total of $24,550. Projects have ranged from a few hundred dollars to several thousand.
While we generally like to fund a variety of projects, we will consider giving the majority of our funds to a single entity in any grant cycle.
