The Swans are bottom of the Premier League having won just twice all season and face Sunderland on Saturday.
"We haven't gone into individuals sort of money but they are fully committed to make some signings to give everybody a lift to go forward," he said.
"We need some players in to give everybody a lift."
American owners Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan bought a controlling stake of 68% of shares in the club in July.
Manager Bob Bradley's job could be on the line after he was made bookies' favourite to be the next Premier League manager sacked but Jenkins says the club is focused on avoiding relegation.
"We don't control every story that goes out in the press. The recent story about Bob Bradley, I don't know where that came from," he continued.
"Our main aim is to make sure we get things right over the next three games and have a few discussions over the next few weeks to make sure we strengthen the team in January.
"We are fully committed to try and make sure we compete and stay in the Premier League every year."
Jenkins has said he takes responsibility for the club's slump, which has left them bottom of the Premier League.
Fans have turned on Jenkins and the board, accusing them of greed after selling most of their shares in July's American takeover.

Souness, who won 54 caps for his country, said the current squad is not up to the standard of his day.
"Going back to my generation we had players in all the big teams in England and winning trophies in England," Souness told BBC Sportsound.
"We now have a group that's maybe short of that level."
Scotland lost both games in their Euro 2016 qualifying September double header to Georgia and world champions Germany, which leaves them sitting in fourth place Group D.
"I think the manager deserves great credit for what he's doing with a limited group of players," said Souness.
"I don't want to be harsh on the players because I know when you're a Scotland player you go out and give it your lot.
"The manager deserves great credit for gelling them and getting the very most from a group that are limited. That's all you can do as a manager.
"He's got what he's got and he's doing a very good job of it as far as I'm concerned."
Scotland's final two qualifiers next month see them host Poland at Hampden before travelling to face Gibraltar.
The best they can place in the group now is third place which would secure a spot in a two-legged play-off.
However, it is not entirely in their own hands, with a number of permutations needed in other games in the group involving Germany, Poland and the Republic of Ireland.
Souness admitted: "It's never great if you're relying on other people."
Swansea City chairman Huw Jenkins has agreed with the club's American owners that money will be available for transfers as they fight relegation.

Gordon Strachan is doing as best as he can with the talent at his disposal, according to former Scotland captain Graeme Souness.
