With over $40,000 donated in just 3 years our charitable activities support JAMPACT's mission by marshaling resources internationally to serve the needs of Jamaican organizations with proven results in improving quality of life and education in Jamaica.

Over US $14,000 raised in the last two years for JAMPACT grants to Jamaican charities. Since our inception in 1998, community action has been an integral part of JAMPACT's mission. Using funds from our annual raffle, each year JAMPACT evaluates and awards grants to Jamaican charities that are in alignment with our mission of promoting progress through education. To formalize our donation process and advance our goal of supporting charities directly impacting the Jamaican community, JAMPACT's fundraising committee established a grant-giving process and invites proposals from education and social development-related Jamaican non-profit organizations. We focus on supporting activities that make a contribution in one of the following key areas:

• Expanding literacy
• Improving computer and Internet access in schools
• Teacher training
• Improvement of educational facilities and infrastructure & Character and leadership development
• Development of conflict resolution skills

Partnering with a private donor, JAMPACT awarded scholarships valued at US $20,000 supporting nine (9) student teachers in the joint Shortwood Teachers College/University of South Florida Master's in Early Childhood Education Program

Raised over US $4000 which was donated to the orphanage which houses approximately 225 children and help supply them with books and clothes
