What Mannie Jackson Center for the Humanities Foundation does
Mission
To conduct activities that promote mutual understanding and respect among people of different cultures, races, ethnicities, religions and other distinctions; influence positive social change by transforming attitudes and perceptions towards greater acceptance, tolerance and interaction among these groups; and ultimately remove barriers that hinder individuals and groups from realizing their aspirations and full potential.
As stated on its FY2019 Form 990.
Program
Conversation Toward a Brighter FutureThe "Conversation Toward a Brighter Future" is the Foundation's program that promotes mutual understanding and respect for people of various backgrounds and distinctions. The goal is to educate youth groups of the issues at hand and ultimately shape these discussions and perceptions for future generations. The Foundation has partnered with Lewis and Clark Community College, the Regional Superintendent of Madison County, and Madison County to support a youth driven "Conversation Toward a Brighter Future." The project is to educate individuals around core concepts that the Foundation refers to as the four pillars - Respect, Dignity, Understanding, and Forgiveness. Participants work in school teams to identify, discuss, research issues, and create a plan that yields positive results reflecting the Foundation's four pillars. Plans must have measurable outcomes and offer the ability to be replicated by other schools and communities. They must address the consequences if students, teachers, administrators and staff fail to embrace respect, dignity, understanding and forgiveness, and how the four pillars can result in a better future for our schools,…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $70k to $28k (−60%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
The chief executive listed changed between the FY2018 and FY2019 filings.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
26% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Mannie Jackson Center for the Humanities Foundation.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 82% · 2019 100% · 2020 57% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $104k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
