Jamaicans seeking to unlock their potential, strengthen their leadership capacity and create meaningful change in their lives and communities are being invited to apply for the next cohort of the Conversations for Greatness (CFG) Online Programme, a transformational initiative offered by the JMMB Joan Duncan Foundation. Applications are now open and will close on September 25, with classes scheduled to begin during the week of October 5. The programme will run over eight weeks in an interactive online format. 

When Juen Powell recently logged into her JMMB account, it was not the cash prizes she had won that left the biggest impression. Instead, it was seeing how much she had accumulated through months of consistent investing. A two-time winner in the JMMB Goal Saver Challenge, Powell credits the initiative with helping her develop a level of financial discipline that has continued well beyond the excitement of the prize draws. 

The JMMB Joan Duncan Foundation is once again partnering with the Committee for the Upliftment of the Mentally Ill (CUMI) to advance mental health support in Jamaica, reaffirming its commitment to improving the well-being of individuals and families affected by mental illness. As a Platinum Sponsor of the 6th Annual Tryall-CUMI Charity Golf Tournament, the Foundation is supporting efforts to raise critical funds and awareness for initiatives that promote dignity, independence and greater access to mental health resources.

As schools closed for the summer, hundreds of young Jamaicans across the island remained engaged in literacy, leadership, environmental education and personal development programmes through a series of community-based camps and learning initiatives supported by the JMMB Joan Duncan Foundation. Approximately 974 youth benefited from the Foundation's investment of more than J$1 million in seven programmes this year.
