The Philanthropic Society was formed by the JRCF in 2018 to respond to emerging community needs by making a significant charitable impact. The group comprises 100 members who donate at least $2,500 in annual dues to the JRCF Philanthropic Society Fund. Over the past three years, the Philanthropic Society has awarded more than $762,000 to nonprofits serving Joplin, Webb City and Carl Junction.
