Keeping Jackson strong, together

The Mary W. Jackson Annual Fund is a parent-led committee that raises money to pay for the people and programs the district doesn't fully cover anymore — and that's more than most families realize.

What is Annual Fund?

The Mary W. Jackson Annual Fund is a parent-led committee that raises money to pay for the people and programs the district doesn't fully cover anymore — things like music, art, our garden & cooking program (as seen in the video above), library coordinator, safety aides, and academic support.

None of it is guaranteed. It exists because our community shows up for it.

The #1 Way to Help

If 200 families gave just $25/month, we could fully fund our core programs and staff that the Annual Fund supports.

Consistent gifts give us something fundraisers alone can't — steady, predictable support we can count on all year long.
