Sjj Foundation
The SJJ Foundation is the charitable arm of SJJ Law (Smith Jadin Johnson), established in 2018 to support local Minnesota nonprofits by directing proceeds from an annual Giveback Golf Tournament to a selected beneficiary. The foundation page on the SJJ Law site lists recent beneficiaries and event information and includes a contact form.

Ideal Applicant
A local nonprofit that can be nominated or partnered with the SJJ Law Giveback event or that has a direct relationship with the firm or event organizers.
Good Fit
- • Has a clear local connection to Minnesota or ties to SJJ Law’s networks.
- • Can serve as a single-year beneficiary of an event-driven grant (one large unrestricted gift).
- • Operates a beneficiary campaign or partnership that could be nominated for the Giveback Golf Tournament.
- • Is able to manage a $10K–$25K unrestricted/general support grant.
Geography
In the latest year the grant went to a Minnesota organization, while the prior year’s single grant went to a New Jersey organization; the footprint is limited in scale and appears state-focused rather than broadly national.
Recipient Variety
Observed giving shows one grant per year with one recipient in 2023 and one different recipient in 2022, yielding only two distinct beneficiaries across two years and no repeat grantees.
New Applicants
The foundation’s stated process and observed pattern indicate beneficiaries are preselected via the annual Giveback event; although the grantees changed year-to-year, public application routes are not offered and unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to be admitted without a nomination or direct relationship.
