Donor Home

Welcome to JBead Foundation (JBEADF) Donor Community! Gifts from the community - friends, faculty, and staff at our universities, corporations, and financial institutions - contribute to JBead Foundation’s success. Your investment demonstrates to all of our funding sources that the Foundation is a worthwhile cause. As the community learns of our success and the strong support of our constituents, they are inspired to participate as well.

Your gift will assist us in the important work we do in shaping and educating our future leaders and community citizens from diverse backgrounds. The Ronald Larry Scholarship Fund was named in honor our founding partner, Mr. Ronald Larry. For example, by investing in JBead Foundation’s Ronald Larry Scholarship Fund, you help us prepare the students of today to become the leaders of our future. Your sustained interest helps keep our Foundation vibrant and alive, and ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

To help us share our vision locally and nationally, we established several ways for you to find your cause! For example, you can open a fund in your name. In addition, our annual events are the most important gathering of citizens, corporations, business leaders, and educators to come together to share the agenda and examine condition(s) of Health Care in America, higher education, and various community outreach programs within the Foundation, while working towards equal access for young professionals who enter institutions of higher learning.

Our National Sponsorship Opportunities vary, offering increased visibility and greater recognition at JBEADF events, campaigns, college publications and signage throughout the year. If you have a product or community service, becoming a sponsor, exhibitor, or advertiser can give you the exposure you need, while promoting your brand for Global Corporate Marketing Benefits!

For example, as corporate sponsor, this is a great opportunity for your company to achieve the following objectives: (1) increase your brand exposure, products, and/or services to an expanded customer base of over 1 million people worldwide; (2) Develop and implement programs that support recruitment and retention of professionals from various cultural groups; (3) Promote professional and personal development; (4) Enhance your company's brand presence in our community as a corporation committed to diversity; and (5) as Platinum Corporate Partner, your company can acquire exclusive promotional, advertising, and marketing rights before, during and after the Foundation's annual community events for four years!

The Return on Investment (ROI) for your company brand as corporate partner is that your products are marketed to reach a new customer base. More importantly, your company will not only be admired for your generosity, but you will enjoy the benefit of exposing your brand to an affluent and exclusive audience of decision makers. Your company will also receive media attention in the form of print, broadcast, and online story placement, thereby exposing your brand to broad, and in many cases, worldwide audiences.

JBead Foundation would like to gather as many corporations, companies, communities, educational institutions, and businesses to share this vision of creating opportunities for young professionals from diverse backgrounds. Our task is to build partnerships between the public and private sector, higher education, congress and assembly members, community leaders, major corporations, foundations, local and national business leaders. The ties between industry and academia allow a valuable interchange of ideas and energy which are key to building corporate structures such as JBead Foundation.

On behalf of our students and community citizens, thank you for your investment/contribution in the encouragement of healthy learning, the education of the whole person, the service of faith, and the promotion of justice. Again, thank you for your generous gifts and contributions. Your support further advances the work of JBead Foundation, Inc.

Our goal and mission is to provide better access to health care information and higher education opportunities for young professionals from diverse backgrounds. Our vision is to lead the next generation, while building healthy learning communities across America.

With much appreciation and thank you for joining us in October 2012 for our inaugural 2-day research convening/conference and workshop. For our community updates go to EVENTS.

I want to leave you with this formula: EDUCATION + EMPLOYMENT = OPPORTUNITY!

Sincerely,
Jeffery L. Butler, Ph.D.
