Our Mission
“It’s not what we gather, but what we scatter that defines our life.” Jon Francis
The Jon Francis Foundation is dedicated to saving lives through wilderness safety education and empowering families who have suffered the loss of an adult loved one in the wilderness.

OUR LOGO IS A CAIRN
A cairn is a manmade pile of stones, often in a conical form. They may mark the summit of a mountain or a memorial. Placed at regular intervals, they indicate a path across barren terrain or climbing routes.
The Jon Francis Foundation (JFF), like a cairn, provides knowledge and acts as a guide to others who find themselves unwilling travelers on an unfamiliar path.
