| The Jarrett Meeker Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
that was established in July 1987 in memory of 8-year-old Jarrett
Meeker after his accidental death on April 27, 1987. JMF is run by
an all-volunteer Board of Directors.
The mission of JMF is to support educational programs related to
wildlife, conservation and the environment for children and young
adults throughout San Diego County. The Jarrett Meeker Foundation
functions as both an operating foundation and grantor to deserving
organizations.
Since 1987, JMF has provided once-in-a-lifetime educational experiences
to more than 100,000 children representing over 50 schools throughout
San Diego County. Overall contributions to these programs total
more than $500,000.
Our vision for the next 20 years is to continue to expand our support
for wildlife and conservation-related educational programs, carefully
choose programs that have a meaningful and lasting impact on the
lives of those we serve, and consequently improve the condition
of the natural world.
