Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation (JPKF) is a non-profit foundation founded by Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. in 1946 in memory of his son Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. The foundation was led by Kennedy Jr's youngest brother, U.S. Senator Edward M. Kennedy, until his death in 2009. JPKF funded the construction of the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Memorial Hall at Boston College, now a part of Campion Hall and home to the college's Lynch School of Education. In 2000, the foundation had assets of $30 million (equivalent to $53 million in 2023).[1]
