PROFILE: Established in 2000, the Frog Rock Foundation is steered by President Janet Inskeep Benton, who worked at General Foods Corporation. Frog Rock Foundation’s mission is to improve long-term outcomes for underserved children in Westchester County, New York. Funding focuses on early learning and development and early childhood systems change.
Frog Rock focuses narrowly on early learning and development, including programs and services for young children prenatal through age five and their families, addressing social, emotional and cognitive development, intellectual and personal enrichment, which includes programs with innovative education strategies, and early childhood systems change.
In a recent fiscal year, the foundation gave away around $1.2 million. Past grantees include Westchester Community Opportunity Program, Westchester Children’s Association, and Jacob Burns Film Center, whose board Janet chairs.
