The goal of the Joan C. Banfield Foundation is to provide financial support for participation opportunities, organizations and coaching of female athletics that otherwise would not be funded by the school district, or other community organizations.
Individuals, families, companies and corporations can support us with contributions or through the donation of items, especially sports memorabilia that can be used in our various fund raising events, including the annual golf outing, held for female athletic participation.
The JCB Foundation accepts grant applications throughout the year. Each grant will be reviewed by the JCB Board of Directors for conformity with the goals of the Foundation. All applications that address female youth athletics in Dexter will be accepted for review. The Foundation wishes to encourage, through its grants, the promotion of female athletic programs that create and encourage a connection between female youth athletic programs and high school programs.
