An alumnus of the honors program at the University of South Florida, Jonathan Yob of Tampa is the founder and president of the Yob Family Foundation (YFF). Jonathan Yob supports a number of community and nonprofit organizations and is particularly focused on advocating for the welfare of children in the Tampa Bay Area.
YFF's mission is to take up causes that appear to have been abandoned, to fill gaps, and provide resources to children in need. Under Mr. Yob’s leadership, the nonprofit has sponsored a wide range of nonprofit organizations and programs in order to assist children who are underserved. For instance, YFF partnered with AT&T Pioneers in support of A Kid's Place in Brandon, Florida, in order to provide assistance to abused and neglected children.
Other causes that Mr. Yob has been involved in over the years include ZooTampa’s wildlife conservation efforts and the Florida Aquarium's creation of the exhibit “Journey to Madagascar,” featuring ring-tailed lemurs and a variety of other exotic animals as part of an effort to build awareness about endangered species. YFF also supports the Tampa General Hospital Foundation, the Grammy Museum, Hillsborough Education Foundation, and the Children’s Cancer Center. For additional information, please visit
