As part of their commitment to the City of Arlington, Texas - home of AT&T Stadium - the Jones family has pledged to donate $16.5 million to organizations supporting Arlington youth over 33 years through the Gene and Jerry Jones Family Arlington Youth Foundation. The foundation's mission is to enhance the quality of life of youth of the City of Arlington by funding programs and facilities dedicated to football and athletics, health and wellness, education and the arts through matching grants.

Also in one of its more recent contributions to the Arlington community, the Arlington Youth Foundation donated $1 million, in concurrence with a $1 million donation from the NFL, to support the build of what is now the Gene and Jerry Jones Family North Texas Youth Education Town ("the YET") at The Salvation Army in Arlington. The YET provides educational, athletic and arts programs, and many other services, including after-school and summer care, to Arlington youth and their families.

The Gene and Jerry Jones Family Arlington Youth Foundation is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life of youth of the City of Arlington by funding programs and facilities dedicated to football and athletics, health and wellness, education and the arts through matching grants.

The Gene and Jerry Jones Family Arlington Youth Foundation awards project and general support grants to recognized IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that focus their efforts on youth of the City of Arlington. These nonprofit organizations must demonstrate the ability to secure current and future funds matching the awarded grant.
