[ TABLE OF CONTENTS ] CHAIRMAN’S LETTER 2 INTERIM PRESIDENT’S LETTER 3 SCF CHAIRMAN’S LETTER 4 2007 OVERVIEW 6 2007 NAACP HIGHLIGHTS 8 PROGRAMS 18 IN MEMORY 22 CENTENNIAL UPDATE 24 NAACP REGIONS 26 BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES 27 INDIVIDUAL DONORS 28 CORPORATE DONORS 30 FOUNDATION DONORS 32 FINANCIALS 34 [ 1 ] CHAIRMAN’S LETTER Dear Friends: I am pleased to report that the state of the NAACP is healthy and that our prospects on the eve of our 100th birthday are great. When a group of interracial progressives formed the NAACP in 1909, they optimistically envisioned the newly formed organization quickly raising a healthy annual budget. The New York Times quoted one of the NAACP’s founders, Oswald Garrison JULIAN BOND Villard, saying if we raise $1 million we’ll be on our way. Sadly, at year’s end, [ ] they had raised only $1140 and were $210 in debt. We’ve come a long, long way since then. While the NAACP has never been able to boast the multi-million dollar budgets of our adversaries, we’ve been able all these years to keep our doors open, our hard-working staff paid, and our hundreds of thousands of volunteers supplied with assistance and ideas about ways to effectively carry out our mission. We’ve been rewarded for the work we’ve done with enormously high favorability rates among all Americans. In June, ’07, the respected polling firm of Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates confirmed that our work is both valuable and valued. The NAACP has the highest favorability of 17 organizations working in the civil rights arena, viewed favorably by almost all blacks‚ 94 percent, including 70 percent who view it very favorably, and by three-quarters of the general public.
