A nonprofit founded by JAMS to have lasting and substantial impact on dispute resolution worldwide.
Our Mission
JAMS, the largest private provider of alternative dispute resolution services worldwide, established the non-profit JAMS Foundation to provide financial assistance for conflict resolution initiatives with national and international impact and to share its dispute resolution experience and expertise for the benefit of the public interest. The JAMS Foundation is the largest and most long-standing private funder of conflict prevention and dispute resolution initiatives worldwide.
Funded entirely by contributions from JAMS, JAMS neutrals and employee associates, the Foundation’s mission is to encourage the use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), support education at all levels about collaborative processes for resolving differences, promote innovation in conflict resolution, and advance the settlement of conflict worldwide.
To date, the JAMS Foundation has contributed over $11 million to support conflict prevention and dispute resolution initiatives across the U.S. and around the world.
