The Gene and Jerry Jones Family

For more than 35 years, Gene and Jerry Jones and their family have led the Dallas Cowboys with the belief that true success extends beyond the field. Their vision has always been guided by a commitment to service—helping those without the strength or resources to help themselves. That spirit of philanthropy defines the Gene and Jerry Jones Family Foundation, embraced by their children, grandchildren, and the entire Cowboys organization.

The Jones Family has long supported amfAR as leading backers of TWO x TWO for AIDS and Art and regular contributors to amfAR’s flagship gala in Cannes. Closer to home, they have partnered with The Salvation Army for nearly 30 years, raising $3 billion for the Red Kettle Campaign through the Cowboys’ nationally televised Thanksgiving Day halftime show.

Their generosity also brought the American Cancer Society Gene and Jerry Jones Hope Lodge in Dallas to life in 2021, offering free lodging and support for cancer patients and caregivers; and a founding gift to the National Medal of Honor Museum contributed to its 2025 opening in Arlington, ensuring future generations are inspired by courage and sacrifice.

The Gene and Jerry Jones Family Arlington Youth Foundation enhances the lives of Arlington’s youth through grants supporting athletics, health, education, and the arts. Their commitment to the arts also includes the Dallas Cowboys Art Collection at AT&T Stadium and the Cowboys/Arlington ISD Art Program, which has given 44,000 students access to world-class art, hands-on creativity, and scholarships for continued education.
