Jewelers Mutual Impact Fund

Purpose

As a company started by jewelers in 1913, our dedication and passion for jewelry and the arts runs deep. We are committed to fueling the love of jewelry while supporting and strengthening the jewelry industry and our communities through a focus on youth empowerment, technology advancement and community progression.

We support nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organizations that serve communities where our employees live and work, specifically in Wisconsin’s Fox Valley, as well as the Dallas and Miami metropolitan areas. However, we also consider nationwide giving opportunities. Read more about our jewelry industry and community giving on our website.
