Reeb Avenue Center
Jane’s roots trace back to the first store on Thurman Avenue on Columbus’ south side, and she and her family remain committed to the area. With a vision of building prosperity in the community by closing the racial and economic gap, Jane raised $16 million and co-founded the Reeb Avenue Center - a social-services center housing 13 non-profits that focus on education and workforce development. A portion of Jane’s speaking honorarium and profits generated from the sale of The Missing Piece: Doing Business the Donatos Way will be donated to the Reeb Avenue Center.

Over the years, Jane has made an impact with countless organizations, including:
