2013 2014 ANNUAL REPORT
Letter to the Community Annabella R. Jenkins had a passion for providing medical care to those who would have otherwise gone without. Despite many recent changes to the health care system, the fact remains that there are still over 88,000 people in metro Richmond without adequate access to care. Therefore, in honoring Annabella s legacy, the Jenkins Foundation continues to view access to care as its primary focus area. This past year, we awarded grants to health safety net providers that serve as points of access for primary, behavioral, oral, and preventive health services. In addition, we created a multi-year grant opportunity for six organizations that directly reflect the Jenkins Foundation s interest in providing access to care for vulnerable populations. These organizations have received regular grant support from Jenkins over the past five years and have demonstrated good stewardship of these funds, which includes showing progress toward positive outcomes for their clients and leveraging additional sources of support. Over the next three years, Jenkins will invest over $1 million in these six nonprofits, providing a base of consistent support during this dynamic and rapidly changing time for our health care delivery system. As our public sector partners wrangle the pros and cons of Medicaid expansion, we must move forward with the current reality that insurance coverage does not equal access. In upholding the values and priorities set by Annabella Jenkins, the Jenkins Foundation will continue to support efforts that strengthen our community s ability to serve uninsured and underinsured residents of metro Richmond. Barbara B. Ukrop Chairman Jenkins Foundation is a supporting organization of The Community Foundation Serving Richmond and Central Virginia.
