(PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK, NY — Jewelers for Children (JFC) kicks off 2026 by announcing its nonprofit partnerships, including four newly selected grantees, while reaffirming its continued support of long-standing charitable partners. Together, these organizations reflect JFC’s mission to support children at every stage of life, from health and wellness to education, stability, and opportunity.
Following a review of 177 applications, JFC’s Nonprofit Partners Committee selected four new national grantees, each receiving a $65,000 grant:
- Reach Out and Read, Inc. provides early childhood literacy support to families through trusted medical professionals.
- Boys & Girls Clubs of America creates safe, supportive spaces that help young people succeed academically and socially.
- No Kid Hungry works to ensure children have access to nutritious, culturally appropriate meals every day.
- Ticket to Dream Foundation supports children in foster care through essential resources and meaningful experiences.
In addition to welcoming these new partners, JFC continues its support of long-standing nonprofit partners, with over a million dollars in gifts in 2025, including Make-A-Wish, Make-A-Wish India, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and Organization for Autism Research.
“These partnerships allow us to support children in a truly holistic way, meeting critical needs while also creating moments of hope and opportunity,” said Sara Murphy, Executive Director of Jewelers for Children. “We are excited to grow alongside our long-time and new nonprofit partners and the jewelry industry community that makes this work possible.”
The expansion of JFC’s grantee portfolio coincides with a series of strategic initiatives in 2026, including a refreshed brand identity, a new website launching in April, and an enhanced format for the organization’s signature fundraising event, Facets.
