The Jane Addams Resource Corporation (JARC) was introduced to the AFF by Ambassador Isaac Reichman. JARC promotes strong communities, businesses, and households to ensure that people who work do not live in poverty. Going beyond basic skills training (math and reading skills), they also connect job seekers with good jobs in the manufacturing sector, and foster the life skills that create a path out of poverty. This year, the JARC requested financial assistance from the Ascienzo Foundation for advertising targeted to underserved communities, so that more people in need were aware of JARC’s services. collaborate with a coalition of free, alternative newspapers throughout the city whose circulation is in the West and South sides of Chicago. The Ascienzo Family Foundation was able to grant JARC $5,000 this year to help with this outreach! JARC is aiming to achieve 3,672,000 marketing impressions (one impression = one time content shows up on a screen) throughout the city of Chicago and its suburbs. These impressions would be seen by over 600,000 Chicago metro area residents, insuring awareness of their mission with an average of six impressions per person.
