LET TER FROM THE CHAIR
All residents of the Richmond region deserve to lead healthy, stable and productive lives. This is the vision recently adopted by the Jenkins Foundation. It is the reason we are committed to working collaboratively, investing strategically and building our capacity to improve outcomes for generations to come. Over the past year, our board engaged in a thoughtful strategic planning process that reaffirmed the courageous and caring spirit that has come to define the Jenkins Foundation. Collectively, we feel a greater sense of responsibility today than ever before, as our endowment has doubled in size and total grantmaking over the past 23 years now exceeds $35 million. We also recognize that our community is constantly changing, and health needs are becoming more complex. Therefore, we believe the best way to lead into the future is to leverage our strengths and become even more strategic and focused. Richmond is best served when we all work together. First, we aim to better understand priority issues by
proactively learning and partnering with grantees and philanthropic partners. Second, our grant process is more deeply evolving to address systemic causes for poor health outcomes, while improving access to mental and primary health care and treatment for substance use disorders. Lastly, we are aligning our internal supports to invite you – our community partners – to further engage in and benefit from the lessons we learn along the way. Thank you for joining us in celebrating the work of the grantees highlighted in this report, and for your continued partnership in building a heathy, thriving region. We look forward to bringing you more updates and insights in the near future.

Grant Spotlight The Jenkins Foundation’s continued commitment to improving the health of Greater Richmond is most visible through the focused, mission-driven work of our nonprofit partners. Here are just a few notable efforts supported with grant funding. FAMILY LIFELINE Family Lifeline offers critical early childhood development programs for vulnerable families with young children. Trained parent educators build trusting relationships with families, connecting them with needed resources and helping them achieve improved health, family resiliency and school readiness.
JEWISH FAMILY SERVICES The Coordinated Care for Seniors program offers comprehensive wrap-around services for 1,000 low-income older adults in the region. Clients are assessed for physical, mental, emotional and nutritional needs, resulting in personalized care plans and needed respite for caregivers.
RICHMOND CIT Y HEALTH DISTRICT The Jenkins Foundation supports dedicated health workers who provide health education and outreach to residents of Richmond’s public housing communities. Mobilizing trusted advocates has led to a 45% increase in patient visits to community Health Resource Centers and overall improved quality of life.

CHILDREN’S MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE CENTER
Breaking down barriers to mental health care One in five children in the United States will experience a mental health or learning disorder, affecting their ability to thrive in school and lead healthy, productive lives.
Although mental health disorders are among the most common health issues that today’s young people face, only 20% of children with these disorders receive treatment. Without treatment, they are at a higher risk of using substances and entering the juvenile justice system. Since 2011, the Children’s Mental Health Resource Center (CMHRC) has been working to ensure more children get the treatment they need. An initiative of the Virginia Treatment Center for Children,
CMHRC understands that sometimes the biggest barrier keeping families from health care is not knowing how to maneuver through the system. “The health care system itself is very complicated, and families are faced with trying to get appointments with providers that have long waiting lists or may not take their insurance. Our goal is to bridge that gap for families,” said Rachel Reynolds, program manager for CMHRC.
