Komen Foundation, and the American Cancer Society are just a few of the organizations that have been helped by the Dale Jarrett Foundation.

The newly created Dale JR Foundation is focused on giving underprivileged children the resources to improve confidence, education, and the opportunity to achieve extraordinary goals. Dale JR created the foundation in October of 2007 to help open doors for people who do not have the step up in the world as he realizes he did by carrying the Earnhardt name. The Dale JR Foundation supports the Victory Junction Gang Camp, Make-A-Wish Foundation, and the Oak Ridge Military Academy. The foundation has also established a grant fund for other organizations and foundations looking to get help for the Dale JR Foundation.
