  • Jane's Kids | RvR 2025

    Jane's Kids The Bethany Legacy Foundation (BLF) established the Jane’s Kids Endowment in 2023. Jane Jacobs had great compassion in her heart for children, so when she learned there were many children in the community whose families could not afford summer activities, she did something about it. That lead to the creation of the Jane’s Kids Summer Scholarship Fund, which marked its 10th anniversary in 2024. Jane’s Kids, a program at the Clearinghouse of Jefferson County, provides financial assistance to families for children’s summer activities. Bethany Legacy Foundation established this endowment to provide perpetual funding for the program, as delivering safe, fun, and engaging activities for local youth aligns with Bethany Legacy Foundation’s mission of making Jefferson County the “healthiest place in the world.” Annual grants from this Designated Endowment will be sent to River Valley Resources to support the Jane’s Kids program so they can continue to provide access to summer programs for our youngest residents.
