Find Services In Your Area CONTACT US ABOUT US THE JEROME FOUNDATION In October, 1956, Frank, Paul, and Varney Jerome (the original owners of Baker Commodities, Inc.) founded The Jerome Foundation, with a primary focus on promoting the care and education of children. Although the Jerome brothers are no longer alive, the foundation continues today under the direction of Baker employees and a nephew of the Jerome’s. There are two Jerome Foundations, the primary operation being in the United States and an affiliated foundation in the Philippines where the Jeromes operated three copra crushing plants until 1973. The U.S. foundation fully funds the Philippine operations as well as providing funding to other U.S. charities for children-related activities. Thanks to the generosity of the foundation, over 30,000 surgical procedures have been performed in the Philippines, mainly harelip, cleft palate, and clubfoot operations. The foundation covers the costs of these procedures, which are performed in the Philippines by Philippine doctors, some of whom were trained in the United States at Jerome Foundation expense. Since 1999, the Foundation and Baker Commodities Inc. has also sponsored 2 students per year with individual $10,000 scholarships.
