Ms. Froeber donates a percentage of the profits from the works she creates for children to The Jelly Foundation. Additional funding for The Jelly Foundation comes from tax-exempt donations made by individuals and corporations.

Past recipients of grants from the Jelly Foundation include: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital; The NC Museum of Natural Sciences; Carrboro Elementary School; The Children of Vietnam; UNICEF; The Southern Documentary Fund; and Habitat for Humanity.
