The Jordan Education Foundation was founded from a generous donation by Jiv Pauly, a notable Jordan resident, who wanted his legacy to live on through an educational foundation that provided student scholarships and professional development opportunities.
Jiv passed away April 21, 2017. We are proud to continue his legacy through the work of this foundation.
The mission of the Jordan Education Foundation is to engage the community to enhance the education of ISD717 students and staff through grants and three foundation scholarships for graduation high school seniors entering the trades and education fields.

Jenny has lived in Jordan since 2005 with husband John, three children Max , Colby and Sarah. Jenny and her husband ran a non-profit organization for 11 years, The Chloe T Foundation, whose mission was to donate stuffed animals to children hospitalized in the Metro Area. Since making the decision to move to the Jordan School district she has volunteered in many parental capacities within the schools and as the days grew closer to her children graduating, she wanted to find a way to continue to give back to the schools that have given so much to her children. JEF was an opportunity that spoke to her and had a lot of meaning for supporting not only students through additional education, but also enhancing the educational aspects for students as they move through the Jordan Schools.
