Jon Francis Foundation

Dear Friends:

Because of you, The Jon Francis Foundation (JFF) has achieved significant mission accomplishment, national recognition, and financial sustainability. With your help, JFF is making a positive difference in people’s lives. 

Notable Mission Highlights:

• JFF is among a small group of nonprofits authorized to conduct a missing person search in a US National Park
• Over the last three years, in the face of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Jon Francis Foundation managed to organize and lead eight (8) missing person searches
• Since we began our mission 16 years ago, JFF has provided help to 40 families in 19 States and Canada
• This spring we received support and SAR resources from the California Governor’s  Office of Emergency Services (CALOES) for our search on the Yurok Reservation
• JFF is advising the newly appointed Director of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) established by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.

Help us continue in our mission to be present with people in grief and work to resolve their painful unresolved loss.  Thank You!
