The Zachary Scott Jones Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization launched in 2023, in honor of our son, brother, and friend Zachary Scott Jones. 

The purpose of the Zachary Scott Jones Foundation is to continue his work and passion that was dedicated to improving the lives of children, both physically and mentally. In his short 25 years, Zachary lived an incredible life of service. Throughout his young life, he was devoted to the well being of children through mentoring, coaching, and teaching.   His dedication to changing children's lives for the better is reflected in his volunteer work with the Down Syndrome Association of Delaware, Delaware Special Olympics, and internships at Christiana Care, Alfred I. Dupont Hospital for Children, and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.  His published research at University of Delaware, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and Vanderbilt University focused on immunology along with a clinical specialization in pediatrics. 

This endowment will seek needs that continue and reflect Zach's dream of enhancing the lives of children and their families. The foundation will fund these identified needs in the form of grants, donations, and scholarships  consistent with what Zachary's goals and vision would have someday accomplished. 

"Among Zach's strongest traits are the motivation to make a difference in the world."
