1 ANNUAL REPORT

2 Letter to the Community The mission of the Jenkins Foundation is simple: to improve the health of Greater Richmond. We do this in partnership with organizations that work diligently to serve the least fortunate among us. In the past year alone, the Foundation awarded grants totaling $1.7 million for essential care of the underserved and for programs that encourage a stronger, safer community. Since its inception in 1995, the Jenkins Foundation has worked closely with many nonprofit partners to create improved access to health services along with an efficient delivery system. Our grants are in direct response to the changing needs of our community. Through our own research and with the help of our peers and partners, we stay abreast of changing demographics, emerging approaches to community health and the various ways in which public policy affects our work. Thank you to all who help make our mission a reality. Our board is proud the Jenkins Foundation has evolved into a significant resource for health philanthropy in our community.
