Mission:
The mission of the Remmer Family Foundation is to reduce youth and female poverty by helping disadvantaged adolescent and pre-adolescent girls take charge of their own lives.
Program:
The Remmer Family Foundation is a charitable foundation that makes grants to qualifying 501©3 tax-exempt organizations. Currently, the Foundation is concentrating on applications from organizations located in the metropolitan Jacksonville, FL and occasionally accepting those that are national in scope (e.g. research or advocacy).
The Foundation funds new and existing programs which strengthen girls and help them make good choices in their lives. We look for programs with the following qualities:
- Build on girls' strengths, thereby preventing problems that limit their opportunities
- Focus on girls aged 9-15
- Address girls' needs in the context of family and community
- Challenge girls, promote leadership abilities, and enable them to experience the satisfaction of achievement
- Sensitive to and directly address issues of difference (e.g. class, race, culture) as strengths.
The Foundation also funds cutting edge research on girls.
Most grants range from $5,000 to $15,000 and may be for 1-3 years. Multi-year awards will be subject to a careful annual review of grantee's performance.
Application Procedure
We will focus our grantmaking in the Jacksonville, FL area and will accept grant applications by invitation only. Due to our ongoing funding commitments, there will not be sufficient funds available to warrant an open application process.
We are a small, unstaffed family foundation, managed by our four volunteer trustees. We try to be as accessible and responsive as possible, but are not always successful. Please bear with us and be assured that we are interested in the extraordinary work that you do.
