Jana’s Fund

Jana’s Fund was created in memory of Jana Gulbrandson, who passed away in 1996 at age 14. Jana was known for her kindness and for always cheering on the underdog. The fund honors her legacy by supporting childhood health, wellness, and education.

Since partnering with the Minneapolis Foundation, Apple Autos has contributed over 1 million dollars to organizations that help kids thrive.

What Our Partners Say

“Apple Autos’ support of our work has allowed us the freedom to try something new and radically transform the way we help people. As soon as we told Apple we wouldn’t be holding the bike ride they previously sponsored and wanted to focus on mission work instead, they were all-in and have been every step of the way since.”

– Andrew Barlage, Executive Director, Free Bikes 4 Kidz
