The Jim and Carol Havens Family Foundation (JCHFF) is a first generation private family foundation based in Indiana. Jim and Carol, life-long residents of their community, formed the foundation as a way to give back to the community that played an integral role in shaping, educating, and supporting them throughout their life.
JCHFF has a strong focus on local organizations who pursue outcome-based initiatives that enhance education, job creations, safe and affordable housing, mental health and end of life care.
At the heart of the foundation’s work is a commitment to Transformational Philanthropy. Creating a meaningful relationship with nonprofits based around a common cause/interest that continually transforms both the cause and the donor.
As a private family foundation, JCHFF does not accept outside solicitation for funding.
