We rely on the support of volunteers, artists, patrons and donors to accomplish our mission. We are a grassroots, completely volunteer run organization and we are proud of the many things we have accomplished over the years. As you make your decisions on where to invest your time and gifts, we’d like to report back to you on how the Jasper Project has used the tokens of your kindness to make an impact on the Midlands.
