To this end EFJ funds non-profit, civil society and community-based organisations as well as academic institutions, and partners with key stakeholders. Since inception EFJ has approved funding of more than USD 43.93 m for 1,321 projects and made a positive contribution to the natural and built environment, children and communities, improved livelihoods and the conservation of Jamaican wildlife.
