About Annabella R Jenkins Foundation
The Annabella R Jenkins Foundation concentrates its grantmaking in the Richmond metropolitan area, prioritizing direct services that support low‑income, vulnerable populations. Its funding strongly targets community health care (including clinics and maternal/reproductive services), behavioral health and substance‑use recovery, and housing/stability programs for seniors and people experiencing homelessness. The foundation favors multi-year or repeated operating and project support to local nonprofits addressing trauma, domestic violence, and culturally specific mental‑health care. Its grants often underwrite capital needs or general operating for scaled service providers rather than national advocacy organizations.

About Annabella R Jenkins Foundation
Annabella R Jenkins Foundation’s recent grantmaking is marked by repeated support for Richmond-area health and human services organizations, with several grantees appearing across multiple years. The largest grants on file go to The Community Foundation Inc., which received unrestricted support in 2023, 2024, and 2025, totaling more than $700,000 across those awards. That same pattern of recurring support shows up in direct-service providers as well, including Virginia Supportive Housing, which received general operating support tied to capital funding and supportive services for formerly homeless individuals with disabilities, including mental health conditions. The foundation also backs crisis-response and health-access organizations serving people in the Richmond metro area. YWCA of Richmond received capital-request and general operating support in consecutive years for crisis response services, while Health Brigade has been funded for integrated healthcare for vulnerable populations. Across the grant list, the foundation favors local nonprofits working with uninsured residents, people in recovery, survivors of violence, older adults, and families needing coordinated care.
What Annabella R Jenkins Foundation Funds
A clear theme is health access for uninsured and underinsured residents.

Maternal and reproductive health is another visible area: Richmond City Health District received $100,000 for long-acting reversible contraceptives, and Birth in Color Rva Foundation received $120,000 for its Maternal Hub. Behavioral health and trauma services are also prominent. ChildSavers received $100,000 for trauma-informed school-based mental health services, while Greater Richmond SCAN received project support for trauma-informed mental health treatment services. The foundation also funds substance-use recovery through Caritas, including a long-term residential program on two campuses for men and women.

The foundation also makes larger operating and capital awards, including multiple six-figure grants, which suggests a mix of base support and targeted project funding. Recurring awards are common: The Community Foundation Inc., YWCA of Richmond, Health Brigade, Crossover Healthcare Ministry, Daily Planet Health Services, Free Clinic of Powhatan, Greater Richmond SCAN, Virginia League for Planned Parenthood, and Caritas all appear in more than one year. The organization gives locally and appears to use direct grants rather than individual aid or program-related investments.
