The St. John Community Foundation was formed just after the devastation that hurricane Hugo inflicted on St. John. Back in 1989, few community groups existed on St. John that had the capacity to help an entire community recover from the massive destruction cased by Hugo. Through community commitment toward a common goal, the St. John Community Foundation was born.

Through the years, SJCF has provided numerous programs which have enhanced the lives of the residents of our beautiful island and the visitors who come to enjoy all St. John has to offer.

After-school programs, anti-crime initialtives, festivals, senior and youth programs, community facility enhancements, recycling, political forums and community sports and arts programs are just some of the many programs supported by SJCF. More programs are coming-programs which will help every citizen. We hope you will be involved as we move forward in making St. John a model community.
