Jonathan “Jo-Nathan” Simpkins was an Electrical Engineering student at South Carolina State University when his life was tragically taken on September 18, 1998. “Jo-Nathan” lived a life committed to excellence and to honor his legacy. The Jo-Nathan Foundation was created to provide life changing and positive experiences for our youth.
The Jo-Nathan Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to empowering youth and strengthening families through leadership development, mentorship, and community engagement. We provide access to camps and enriching experiences that help young people learn, grow, and become the best version of themselves. By investing in their education, experiences, and exposure, we inspire the next generation to lead with confidence, character, and purpose.
