About JADE Foundation
The JADE Dark Foundation was birthed out of Dr. Gladys Dark's love for humanitarian and philanthropic initiatives. Dr. Gladys Dark has been doing missionary work throughout the Continent of Africa and Central America since 2008! She wants to leave behind a legacy of Christlike servanthood to the next generation of Dark’s. Therefore, Dr. Gladys Dark was inspired to name the foundation from the first initial of her first four grandkids (J onathan A bigail D avid E Lisha). She hopes and prays it will inflame in their hearts a spirit of selfless giving and to know it is “better to give than to receive,” (Acts 20:35).
