Jane Bancroft Robinson Foundation

The Jane Bancroft Robinson Foundation (JBRF) was founded in 2011 through the integration

of Sibley Memorial Hospital with Johns Hopkins Medical System. JBRF, grounded in the legacy

of the United Methodist Church and Sibley Memorial Hospital, supports nonprofit organizations improving the direct health needs and social determinants of health in communities of Washington, D.C.’s Wards 7 and 8. JBRF’s philanthropic approach is designed to increase opportunities for residents to have a voice on the issues that impact their lives, take a leadership role in the development

of solutions, and share decision-making authority to determine how and to whom resources are provided to implement those solutions. Current key priorities include reducing cancer mortality and creating health‐related career opportunities for Black women in Wards 7 and 8.
