We’ve all heard the saying that “change is the only constant in life.” And we all know that a constructive change can have a significant impact on the successful trajectory of an organization. Imagine what would happen if we could harness the power of change to create a positive impact on the world around us. 

The Journey Behind the Transformation

At Watkins Christian Foundation (WCF), our journey of change is fueled by relentless introspection and a commitment to expand His Kingdom. We continually ask ourselves: How can we better serve our community? How can we amplify our impact? These questions have led us to restructure our grant guidelines, streamline our processes, and embrace new technology. And to deepen our connection with our grantees, we recently held our first-ever Regional Grantee Meeting in Macon, GA.

Voices of Resilience and Innovation from the Front Lines

In this 2023 Year in Review, I invite you to peruse the insights of 40 leaders from 36 WCF grantee organizations as they share some highlights of how they navigated their internal and external changes, doing so with resilience and innovation. Leveraging everything from the availability of financial resources to the introduction of new technologies, they are not just adapting—they are thriving. Read on to learn how change significantly impacts their daily work, enabling them to help more families, serve more meals, and mentor more youth. 

Financial Story Behind the Numbers

Our financial overview is more than data; it’s also a testament to the power of transformation. Each dollar ultimately translates into a meal that is served, a child who is educated, a life that is somehow uplifted or altered. Our financial decisions align deliberately with our change strategies, ensuring every action moves us closer to our mission.

Intrigued? Flip through the pages to see how change agents are making an amazing difference every day. Their dedication fuels our ongoing transformation, and their insights about operational and strategy changes are inspiring.
