Jeanine Heller Foundation

To ensure her assets would be put to good use by helping others in need, Jeanine Heller and an accountant friend established the organization in 2015. A no-nonsense, yet spiritual businesswoman, Jeanine was dedicated to supporting all in need, people and animals alike. Jeanine worked as a clothing designer for an industry leader and was a very stylish lady.  An American, she lived in both New York City and Montreal, where she passed away in 2017.

While Jeanine gave generously to her church and cat charities, she encouraged the foundation to broaden its scope. To date over 150 different 501c3 organizations across the country have benefited ranging from food pantries and animal shelters to emergency disaster relief and camps for special needs populations.

William Vogel, Shawn Vogel, Rev. Lynn Sullivan, and Sonja Greggersen are all honored to be a part of the foundation. While they prefer low profiles, they wanted the generosity of Jeanine Heller to be recognized.
