THESE PROGRAM EXPENSES ARE INCURRED TO FURTHER THE MISSION OF THE ORGANIZATION. THE ORGANIZATION IS REPRESENTED IN 50 STATES AND SEVERAL FOREIGN COUNTRIES THROUGH FORMAL AND INFORMAL AFFILIATIONS WITH VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS AND AGENCIES. THE JASON FOUNDATION, INC. (JFI) IS DEDICATED TO THE PREVENTION OF THE "SILENT EPIDEMIC" OF YOUTH SUICIDE THROUGH EDUCATIONAL AND AWARENESS PROGRAMS THAT EQUIP YOUNG PERSONS, EDUCATORS/YOUTH WORKERS AND PARENTS WITH THE TOOLS AND RESOURCES TO HELP IDENTIFY AND ASSIST AT-RISK YOUTH. YOUTH SUICIDE IS THE 2ND LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR OUR YOUTH AGES 10-24. ONE OUT OF EVERY 10 YOUNG PEOPLE IN OUR NATION REPORTED IN THE 2021 YOUTH RISK BEHAVIORAL SURVEY THAT THEY HAD "ATTEMPTED SUICIDE" IN THE PREVIOUS TWELVE MONTHS - THAT EQUATES TO AN AVERAGE OF 4,233 ATTEMPTS EACH DAY IN OUR NATION. FOUNDED IN 1997 AFTER THE TRAGIC SUICIDE DEATH OF JASON FLATT - AGE 16 (JFI'S CURRENT PRESIDENT'S YOUNGEST SON), THE JASON FOUNDATION, INC. HAS BECOME ONE OF THE NATION'S LEADERS IN YOUTH SUICIDE AWARENESS AND PREVENTION. JFI'S SUCCESS COMES FROM ITS UNIQUE UTILIZATION OF MAJOR IN- KIND RESOURCES THAT HELPS PROVIDE A "GRASS-ROOTS" COMMUNITY TYPE OF DELIVERY OF PROGRAMS AND SERVICES ON A LOCAL/STATE LEVEL. SYMBOLICALLY SPEAKING, JFI'S IN-KIND RESOURCES PROVIDE THE "VEHICLE" FOR DELIVERY OF OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES NATIONALLY. JFI, THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF OUR OTHER FUNDING PARTNERS/RESOURCES, IS ABLE TO KEEP THE "VEHICLE" MOVING FORWARD TO PROVIDE OUR SERVICES AND PROGRAMS AT THE LOCAL AND STATE LEVELS. AS A NATIONAL SUICIDE AWARENESS AND PREVENTION ORGANIZATION, THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE PROGRAMS DIRECTLY TO PARENTS, SCHOOLS, CHURCHES AND OTHER GROUPS IN A LOCAL COMMUNITY SETTING CREATES MORE ACCEPTANCE FROM THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE.
