The Jessie Ball duPont Fund shares research reports and videos to help communities learn and grow. They study topics like how people give money to help others, housing problems, energy savings, and community development. Their research covers Florida communities, especially Jacksonville.
They look at how nonprofits work, how to help homeless people, and ways to make neighborhoods better. The fund also makes videos about Jacksonville's history, including stories about women in the LaVilla neighborhood and how city planning affects different communities. Their work helps people understand how communities can work together to solve problems.
They study everything from how young people give to charity to how colleges can save energy. This research helps foundations, nonprofits, and community leaders make better decisions about helping people. The reports and videos are free resources that anyone can use to learn about community development and philanthropy.
