The Florida Historical Society has received support from the Jessis Ball duPont FUND.

The Jessie Ball duPont Fund works to expand access and create opportunity by investing in people, organizations and communities that were important to Jessie Ball duPont.

The Jessie Ball duPont Fund is a national foundation that makes grants to a defined universe of organizations whose eligibility is determined exclusively by Mrs. duPont’s personal philanthropic decisions. An organization is eligible if it received a gift from Mrs. duPont between January 1, 1960 and December 31, 1964.

The Fund organizes its resources around the following focus areas:

• Strengthening the Independent Sector
• Building the Assets of People, Families and Communities
• Building the Capacity of Eligible Organizations
