Jasper Engine’s endowment group, Jasper Endows Today & Tomorrow recently awarded more than $28,000 going to eight different nonprofits.

Jasper Endows Today & Tomorrow is a giving circle for Jasper Engines & Transmission Associates and their families that focuses on pooling resources to have a greater combined impact on our communities.

Their goal is to learn more about philanthropic opportunities and support those organizations that promote smart giving. Over 500 volunteer hours were also donated by group members this year.

Each year a portion of member donations goes to building the Jasper Endows Today & Tomorrow endowment, which currently totals over $160,000.
