Welcome to the
JWN Foundation

The JWN Foundation, established in 2012, is J. Wray & Nephew Limited’s vehicle for giving back to the wider society. We actively play our part in ‘transforming lives and communities for a better Jamaica’ through the JWN Foundation and focus on developing the areas surrounding JWN’s operations at Spanish Town Road in Kingston, New Yarmouth in Clarendon and Appleton Estate in St. Elizabeth. The JWN Foundation aligns itself with the Campari Group’s sustainability strategy.

How we help

Our Impact

Education and Development

As part of the JWN Foundation’s Scholarship Awards Programme 2020, 95 community scholarships were awarded totalling $12,525,000 (€71,901.65). The entire execution of the JWN Foundation’s 2020 Scholarship Programme was done remotely as the team worked on delivering a successful programme while maintaining the safety of staff, volunteers, students and friends of the Foundation.

COVID-19 Solidarity Initiatives

The JWN Foundation in collaboration with J. Wray and Nephew Limited and the Campari Group, executed a series of targeted interventions in Jamaica in response to the global pandemic—COVID-19. Through this partnership, and as JWN’s vehicle for giving back, the JWNF was able to once again demonstrate, through action, our commitment to supporting our communities in Jamaica.

Social Inclusion

The J. Wray & Nephew Foundation (JWNF) in collaboration with the Ministry of National Security, and the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture & Fisheries pressed along with the first in the series of interventions with the distribution of 1,000 food packages to at-risk groups via J. Wray & Nephew community council to a total value of $7,000,000 to communities near Appleton Estate in St Elizabeth.

The Spirit of Christmas

The JWN Foundation brought Christmas cheer to over 1000 families in Kingston and Clarendon by providing food packages and supermarket vouchers. This as the Foundation recognizes the challenges faced by families with children at home doing online learning. Food packages were distributed using the JWN Foundation’s network of support schools, York Town, Racecourse and Gimme-Me- Bit Primary schools in Clarendon.
