The foundation appears to fund intermediary or mission-driven nonprofits rather than direct service providers, suggesting a preference for supporting established charitable organizations through one-off grants. With only one recorded grant, geographic or issue-specific patterns are not yet evident beyond this recipient.
Highly concentrated, one-time giving: a single mid-sized grant to one organization rather than multiple or recurring awards.
Notable grantees: Jason's Friends Foundation
Jackalope Foundation’s 2025 giving is anchored by a $25,000 contribution to Jason's Friends Foundation in Casper, Wyoming, alongside a cluster of $15,000 and $10,000 grants to organizations in Arizona, Oregon, Wyoming, Virginia, New York, Tennessee, Florida, and Colorado. That pattern points to a foundation that funds a mix of local, regional, and national nonprofits rather than a single cause area. The foundation gave to schools, food and family-support organizations, youth programs, health charities, and other community-serving nonprofits. Among the larger recent grants were $15,000 to Imago Dei Middle School in Tucson and $15,000 to Nourish Arizona in Tucson. It also made repeated $10,000 contributions to organizations such as Outside In in Portland, Wyo Sports Ranch in Casper, Boys & Girls Club of Douglas, Community Food Bank of Southern AZ in Tucson, and Operation Smile in Virginia Beach. Across the recent grants list, the foundation appears to favor established charitable organizations with recognizable community roles. Its giving is not limited to Wyoming, though Casper appears more than once in the recipient list. The overall picture is of a foundation making straightforward contribution-style grants to nonprofits working in education, health, food access, and family support.
Education appears in the recent grants through $15,000 to Imago Dei Middle School in Tucson and $5,000 to St Joseph's Indian School in TuscAn, Arizona. Those gifts suggest support for school-based and youth-serving organizations. Food access and family support are another visible theme. The foundation gave $15,000 to Nourish Arizona in Tucson and $10,000 to Community Food Bank of Southern AZ in Tucson, along with $10,000 to Our Family Services in Portland and $10,000 to Path Home in Portland. Health-related charities also received support. Recent contributions include $10,000 to Doctors Without Borders in New York and $5,000 each to St Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis and Shriners Children's Hospital in Tampa. The list also includes $10,000 to Make a Wish Foundation in Casper and $10,000 to Operation Smile in Virginia Beach.
The typical grant size is tightly clustered: p25 is $8,750, median is $10,000, and p75 is $10,000. That places most recent gifts at or near $10,000, with a smaller number of $15,000 grants and one $25,000 grant at the top of the list. The recent record shows repeated support to some recipients, including Jason's Friends Foundation, which appears at both $25,000 and $10,000. The foundation is structured as a grantmaker, not an operating charity, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The grants shown are contribution-style awards rather than application-driven awards.
