2007 Jackson Community Report Card
Based on the 2006 Jackson Community Report Card and emerging needs in the community, twelve areas of information
have been complied for 2007. The 2007 Jackson Community Report Card integrates information from
the 2002, 2005, and 2006 Jackson Community Report Cards, as well as information collected specifically for the
2007 Jackson Community Report Card.
At the top of every category in each section there is a data indicator which identifies the changes to that specific category compared to previous years. It is marked by movements and directions
to better understand if that category has improved or not. The twelve sections are listed on the community report card with a brief
summary of major findings.

2008 Message to the Community
Dear Foundation Friends,
As the 59th year of the Foundation ends, we are honored and humbled by the continuing generosity of donors. Contributions exceeded $2 million in 2007 and our endowment exceeded $24 million.
