$1,200,000 Gift to JTS America

The Chestnut Family Foundation is honored to support JTS America with a $1,200,000 gift to advance its global humanitarian work. This gift, allocated equally between JTS India and JTS Philippines, reflects our deep respect for the organization’s thoughtful, community‑centered approach to addressing poverty and expanding educational opportunity. We are proud to help sustain the Sujata Academy in India—continuing the Foundation’s support from prior years—and to contribute to the construction of new schools in Mindanao, where access to education can transform the trajectory of entire communities.

This investment underscores the our belief in long‑term, sustainable solutions that uplift children and families. JTS’s work embodies this philosophy through its focus on education, empowerment, and compassionate service. We look forward to seeing how this support strengthens the organization’s ability to meet the needs of the communities it serves with dignity and care.

We remain deeply appreciative of the opportunity to partner with JTS and to play a small role in supporting Venerable Pomnyun Sunim’s vision of addressing the crises facing modern society. The impact of JTS’s work around the world continues to inspire us, and it is a privilege to contribute to such meaningful and far‑reaching efforts.
