From the CEO and Board Chair

We are proud to present our 2025 Annual Report, a reflection of our last fiscal year, during which we met unprecedented demands and strengthened community connections. Our work is a testament to the unwavering support of our family of supporters. Your compassion and generosity continue to drive our positive impact in our communities and beyond.

Looking back at the last fiscal year, these pages underscore the significance of our efforts to make the world a better place and expand resources beyond our walls, reaching individuals and families as diverse as our programs and services. We continued to evaluate our services to best meet the needs we see every day, and we strengthened our programs to create relevant opportunities for our clients to thrive. The year was filled with reflection, challenges, and so much good. In addition to the highlights you’ll read throughout the report, your generosity allowed us to:

  • Pass a four-year strategic framework to guide the organization in achieving long-term stability and continuing to have a positive impact, enabling us to fulfill our mission effectively.

  • Celebrate the 30th anniversary of our school-based mental health program, KidSuccess, which has been on the front lines, making a difference, welcoming children, and providing the necessary resources for them to heal in a supportive school environment.

  • Administer the Boulder County Crisis Counseling mental health program, funded through the Community Foundation of Boulder County’s Wildfire Recovery Fund, the Red Cross, among others. More than 267 licensed private practice therapists provided 1,091 individuals or households with free therapy, totaling over 9,800 sessions to help combat trauma, depression, or anxiety associated with the Marshall Fire and subsequent Straight-line Wind event.

On behalf of the individuals and families we serve, thank you for your commitment to JFS. Just as it has been for the past 153 years, it is our honor and privilege to support our community in a thoughtful and compassionate way—and we couldn’t do this critical work without you.
