JRF OUTREACH gives locally concentrated, mission-driven grants in Monroe/Morehouse/Ouachita parishes that prioritize practical community supports: public safety, youth mentoring and education pathways, workforce/job-readiness, faith-based social services, and health outreach for underserved Black communities. They fund a mix of municipal/public safety needs, community-based nonprofits, churches and fraternities—often to support program delivery, operating costs, equipment, scholarships and direct services rather than large capital campaigns. The foundation’s portfolio emphasizes serving disproportionately impacted populations through hands-on, service-oriented organizations and neighborhood-level interventions.
Jrf Outreach’s recent grantmaking is centered on hands-on support for Monroe and nearby Morehouse and Ouachita parish communities, with individual awards reaching as high as $70,000. The largest grant went to Bastrop City Marshall Office for operations, law-enforcement equipment, and staffing, showing that public safety and capacity building are part of the portfolio. Other sizable grants supported college-readiness testing, job-readiness programs, and community health outreach, indicating that the foundation funds practical services rather than broad, abstract initiatives. The foundation also backs organizations that work directly with youth and underserved residents. It gave $20,000 to Tab N Action Inc for the “Black Tie Guys” youth mentoring program and another $20,000 to 1900 Club to create space for counseling and monthly meetings for people recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. Additional support went to churches, historical organizations, and community groups delivering meals, clothing, scholarships, and basic-needs services. Across the portfolio, Jrf Outreach appears to favor local, service-oriented groups that can deliver direct benefits in the communities they serve. The grant list includes municipal offices, schools, fraternities, a chamber of commerce, and faith-based providers, suggesting a mix of public, nonprofit, and community-partner funding.
In education and college readiness, Jrf Outreach gave $40,000 to Brbg Consulting LLC to prepare students in District 34 for the ACT and diagnose barriers to success. It also awarded $15,000 to Historical Louisiana First Jurisdiction Church of God in Christ Inc to provide scholarships to college-bound high school graduates, and $7,500 to Cartwright Learning Incorporated for instructional materials, equipment, and staffing support. For youth development, the foundation funded $37,500 to Opportunities Industrialization Center Inc of Ouachita for training, mentorship, and job-readiness programs for low- to moderate-income students. It also gave $20,000 to Tab N Action Inc for the “Black Tie Guys” mentoring program and $6,250 to Greenwood Drive dba Kuntry Boyz Community Outreach for the “Save Our Youth Mentoring” program in Morehouse Parish. Health and basic-needs support also appears in the portfolio. Jrf Outreach granted $32,500 to Northeast Louisiana Sickle Cell Anemia Technical Resource Foundation Inc for community outreach, essential services, awareness, and health resources, and $12,500 to The New St James Baptist Church No 1 for meals, clothing, giveaways, and other community needs.
