Overview

Mission

The mission of the vincent jackson family foundation is to provide support to military and civilian families, focusing on their overall wellness.

What it reported doing in 2025

Middle school is a time of transition, so the goal of our Mind Masters Wellness Workshop for 6th-8th grade students is to get the youth who attend thinking about how they view themselves, how they handle mental and emotional stressors, and how to incorporate healthy coping strategies when faced with stress, pressures, and challenges. Its our intent that the youth will adopt the practices, lessons, and strategies shared so they become mentally and emotionally resilient as they continue to grow. Mind Masters includes a keynote session for students, as well as a separate session just for parents. In addition to the thought-provoking breakout sessions, the youth engage in their choice of an interactive therapeutic session with past options including yoga, art therapy, pet therapy, dance, photography, and physical movement.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and some filed totals do not add up.
