 JETT has awarded 52 grants since its inception in 2013, totaling $194,066.00. 

“All of these charitable gifts would not be possible without the matching partnership of JASPER® and our generous membership,” added JETT Founder, Mark Balsmeyer. “Couple that with several member-driven fundraising events, and we are blessed to be able to support our community’s non-profit organizations.” 

 JETT is a giving circle for Associate-Owners of Jasper Engines & Transmissions, and their families, that focuses on pooling resources, creating a greater combined impact on our communities. Their goal is to learn more about philanthropic opportunities and support those organizations that promote smart giving. 

 Each year a portion of member donations builds the JETT endowment, which currently totals over $250,000.00. JETT membership has steadily increased from 29 members in 2013 to 235 in 2020.
