The Triple J Family Foundation Code of Ethics reflects the high standard of conduct representing our organization’s mission and vision.  We are committed to conducting all of the Triple J Family Foundations affairs and activities with the highest standards of ethical conduct.

Our Code of Ethics helps define our commitment for using our time, treasures, and talents to model for family, friends, and future generations in a legacy of giving. As volunteers, we are passionate about working with our community and those we serve. We must dedicate ourselves to pursuing our mission with love, kindness, and respect for individuals, to teach them to fish so that they can eat for a lifetime.
