This year, direct program assistance to the FPs totaled $139,000, all of which went towards program expenses at the FPs. $125,000 was secured by the FPN from the Phil Hardin Foundation to directly support FP program: of that amount (following the agreement with the Foundation) $80,000 supported programming at the Meridian FP, $25,000 supported programming at the Sunflower County FP, and $20,000 supported programming at the Rosedale FP. Two additional grants of $6,000 each were distributed to support programming at the Meridian FP. A final $2,000 supported programming expenses at the Rosedale FP, secured from through a grant from the National Geographic Foundation. 58205 40000 0 ALUMNI COLLEGE SUCCESS PROGRAM: The Alumni College Success program supports all Freedom Project alumni who matriculate into college by providing mentorship calls, academic coaching, mental health support, and monthly stipends.

Next, the FPN Programming Committee (which includes the Board Representative of each Freedom Project) convenes to review submissions and make appropriate disbursement decisions. Over the course of the grant period, the FPN uses the project proposals and budgets provided by Freedom Projects as a tool for ongoing accountability with the Freedom Projects. In addition, the FPN Executive Director makes visits, at least once a quarter, to the Freedom Projects to review programming. Finally, the FPN works with the Freedom Projects to prepare grant reports to any funders providing the grants to the FPN.
