and we’re working for society, not against it.”

Prime Impact Fund
WJSFF’s sustained support of Prime, a charity that partners with philanthropists to invest charitable capital in companies that combat climate change, has helped mobilize a nearly $40 million dollar pool of 100% philanthropic capital. This is not high-risk investing; rather, it is leveraged grant making to activate venture capital investment for the purpose of social good.
In 2019, WJSFF provided $100,000 in funding for the implementation of programs involving early stage technology start-ups.

The Waterbox Latinx Flint
In our continued effort to provide clean water to often overlooked communities, WJSFF has partnered with Latinx Flint and donated Water Box 4 to Flint & Genesee County Michigan, where the pipes still leach lead. This Water Box, named in honor of Jada Pinkett-Smith, produces five gallons of water in 30 seconds and includes instructions in both English and Spanish for the community.
Environmental Media Association
Jaden spoke on two panels about the impact of the green economy and environmental innovations: “Is Climate Change Making Us Sick?” and “70% Of The Planet,” at the Environmental Media Awards in May. Willow performed at the Environmental Media Association Honors Benefit Gala in September which honored activists for their work to end climate change.
“We gotta create an
impact, we gotta change
people’s minds. We gotta
show people that we
really care about this.”
