Company History
With philanthropy as a cornerstone of Jim Moran's personal and business philosophy, Jim wanted to provide for a continuation of his giving back to the community into perpetuity. After many years of discussing the concept of a Foundation, in 2000, it began to take shape. Working with JM Family and a group of advisors, the groundwork for The Jim Moran Foundation and its funding began.
The Archives were established to collect, preserve and display property to tell the story of the life of Jim Moran. In February 2001, JM Family assigned to The Foundation all property or memorabilia of any nature or kind which JM Family owns that Jim Moran wrote, produced, designed, collected or received related to the life of Jim Moran.
Along with a contribution from Jim and Jan Moran, JM Family made an initial contribution to start the funding of The Foundation in December 2000. JM Family and its various affiliates have committed, through a long-term Grant Agreement, significant funding for many years to come based upon a percentage of the company’s profits. It is expected that the funding from this Grant Agreement will provide The Foundation with sufficient funds to create an endowment that will allow it to fulfill its mission into perpetuity.
In addition to the funding provided for in the Grant Agreement, JM Family agreed to provide The Foundation, at no charge, office space located at 100 Jim Moran Boulevard in Deerfield Beach, Florida.
