Philanthropy

Jeremy Whittaker and his wife, Roshana, believe in giving back to the community through various philanthropic endeavors. Over the years, they have donated to or participated in a variety of causes including:

Khan Academy – “I am a big supporter of Khan Academy and the organization’s dedication to providing a free education for anyone."
Community Bridges – “Behavioral health is a serious issue right now, I believe. An underestimated, 10-15% of soldiers return from war with PTSD. " A letter from the CEO
United Food Bank – "They distributed 23,197,530 pounds of food last year, 19,331,268 meals, and have over 203 partner agencies. $1 provides 4 meals to hungry children around the valley."
Banner Health - "My wife has worked for Banner Health for years. Not only are they the largest employer in Arizona but they create quality jobs."
Make-a-Wish Foundation of Arizona – “I believe in the Make-a-Wish Foundation and its efforts to help kids with life-threatening illnesses see some of their dreams come true. I have contributed to many of their local programs.”
LISC Phoenix – “The initiative by LISC to get the Artspace project into Mesa will help transform the city to find its new identity. I applaud the city for donating the land.”
World Vision – “World Vision is a great cause. I think it’s the humble people of our community that don’t even realize how much they inspire you. I see a friend, Rusty, running miles every day to bring attention to the water crisis in Africa. This is truly a great guy without a personal agenda and we should all aspire to be more like him.”
Salvation Army – “My family has been personally affected by drug and alcohol abuse. As a result, I recognize the Salvation Army as an excellent resource for helping these people get back on their feet.”
American Heart Association – “A great program that, among other things, draws attention to proper nutrition and helps fight childhood obesity."
