The Joseph Peebles, Jr. Foundation of Murfreesboro
We were founded in 2001 to benefit the youth of Murfreesboro, TN. The basis of the JPJ Foundation is to assist graduating minority students with funds to attend college. Based on the criteria set forth by the foundation committee, a deserving minority student (or students) will receive a cash award upon graduation to help assist them in their first year of college. Applications are sent to each high school in Murfreesboro by February 1 each year.
As a reminder, the JPJ Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Therefore, all contributions made are tax deductible. The foundation is also registered with the State of Tennessee to accept donations.
To teach that minorities have an opportunity to excel in every facet of human life; namely academics and leadership. Although we understand that we may encounter difficulties, creating excuses not to achieve our goals is unacceptable. We will strive to provide help and solutions to reach these goals.
For 25 years, the JPJ Foundation has been committed to empowering the youth of Murfreesboro, TN—and now all of Rutherford County. Our mission has always been rooted in one purpose: to open doors for graduating minority students by helping them take their first steps into higher education. Each year, based on criteria set by our foundation committee, we award financial support to students who have shown dedication, resilience, and promise.
