The Hans & Cay Jacobsen Charitable Foundation, Inc. aims to support organizations aiding children and young adults in Lake County and Sumter County, Florida, by promoting health, education, culture, recreation, and citizenship. It focuses on aiding disadvantaged, underprivileged, and at-risk children with access to education, healthcare, recreational activities, and cultural enrichment, alongside supporting civic causes within these communities since 1990.
The grant program by the Hans & Cay Jacobsen Charitable Foundation is designed to support charitable causes that align with the Foundation’s objectives to further charity, education, and religious instruction mainly within Lake County and Sumter County, Florida. While many causes are deemed worthy by the Foundation, priority is given to initiatives that have been specifically targeted by Hans and Cay Jacobsen, especially those aimed at benefiting disadvantaged or at-risk children and young adults through educational access, healthcare, recreational programs, and cultural opportunities. However, the Trustees retain the discretion to fund causes outside these guidelines if they believe such causes demonstrate an unusual need in line with the Foundation's concern.
