Enhancing neonatal intensive care for the sickest of babies and providing support for their families

Our Mission

Healing is an art, a combination of bold gestures and subtle nuances. The latter come in many forms, but none are more important than the work we do to improve the quality of life for neonatal and pediatric patients and families involved in critical care situations. We exist to provide family-centered care in the NICU environment to make trying times as comfortable, complete, hopeful and peaceful as possible.

19th Annual Christmas Supply Drive for NICU Families at Arkansas Children’s Hospital

Every year we bundle up much needed essentials and delivery them to every family that has a baby in the NICU just in time for Christmas. You can order items from the Amazon Wishlist and have them shipped right to us! They’re expecting 110 families that week!!! Items must be received by December 11, 2023

We also include dozens and dozens of fresh baked holiday cookies! If you want to sponsor cookies from a fabulous local small business Cardinal Cake Co., she'll do the baking and bundling by the dozen for you!

Each dozen is $15. You may send funds through Friday, December 15 via PayPal (info@jacksongraves.org) or Venmo (@JLGFoundation) for the quantity you want to share with ACH families. Thank you for helping make the holidays merry and bright!

The Jackson L Graves Family Garden

The Jackson L. Graves Foundation funds numerous projects. Currently, we’re partnering with the Willow Creek Women's Hospital to provide a Garden for families and Arkansas Children’s Hospital to provide toys, books, clothes, toiletries, and other items for infants and toddlers, as well as their families...

“If you have to go through time in the NICU, we want to make that as hopeful and as peaceful as possible.”
