We aim to build community and power alongside young Mississippians by providing holistic and liberatory educational experiences. 1 1 251008 226360 0 FREEDOM PROJECT PROGRAMMING: Through afterschool programming, FPN Fellows explore past and present movements, express themselves through the arts, and build organizing efforts to gain racial, educational, and social equity in their communities. FPN staff lead students in academic, extracurricular, experiential learning, and youth empowerment programming, aimed at both empowering Fellows as students and as young people. Before the merger with the Freedom Project entities in August and September 2023, we achieved this program service by directly assisting Freedom Projects (one $45,000 grant, and one $15,000 grant to the Rosedale Freedom Project). After that merger, FPN achieved this program service through direct FPN expenditures. 50149 21149 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. We have a part-time Program Director who oversees the administration of this program and part-time coordinators for each of our 3 Freedom Project sites who lead the student-facing program. This year we supported 22 Alumni fellows enrolled at colleges and universities across the country. 5736 5736 0 EDUCATIONAL TRAVEL: During the Summer, Fall, and Spring semesters, staff at each site plan a trip for Fellows to travel for experiential learning. They travel to cities and places where pivotal moments of the Civil Rights Movement happened and tour different college campuses as part of college access programming. Our Fellows also engage in travel relevant to the ongoing work that they are doing, for example in art, or history, throughout the year. 3981 3981 0 RESTORATIVE JUSTICE FELLOWSHIP: The Restorative Justice Fellowship moves our programming toward our broader goals of Fellows organizing to actualize their vision for change in their lives. RJF advances our community-building mission because restorative work focuses on building and repairing relationships. Fellows in the Freedom Project Network lead peace circles with each other to explore the causes of harm and create alternative solutions for addressing and handling conflict at their sites. 11475 7702 0 FPN PROGRAM SUPPORT: Professional development for staff members; site visits by leadership team of FP sites; data management & analysis; other program expenses. 15456 11683 0 322349 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 9 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 22 22 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 MS X Andrew Donnelly 9785011063 PO Box 1819 Oxford MS 38655 LaToysha Brown Executive Director 40 0 X X 25385 0 0 Ki Harris Executive Director 40 0 X X 24663 0 0 Vaish Shastry Board President 5 0 X 0 0 0 Andrew Donnelly Board Treasurer 3 0 X 0 0 0 Shawn Raymond Board Member 2.00 0 X 0 0 0 Gregg Costa Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Lukendric Washington Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Kate Gluckman Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Tracy Alford Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Ste'Niya Williams Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 James Trey Peacock Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Tara Corrigan Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Lucas Rapisarda Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Amir Badat Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Markeia Brown Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Thad Fairley Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Cedric Gathings Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Chris Perkins Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Thomas Huebner Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Katie McGriff Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Tyeisha Smith Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Niharika Singh Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Lydia DuBois Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Shequite Johnson Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 50048 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1128036 519772 1128036 0 3498 3498 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1131534 3498 0 0 60000 60000 55804 33482 11161 11161 0 0 0 0 96733 96733 0 0 0 0 0 0 928 928 12027 7217 2405 2405 7616 7616 4942 4942 4027 4027 8336 4168 4168 2587 2587 Alumni College Success Program 50149 50149 0 0 Educational Travel Expenses 5735 5735 0 0 Freedom Project Programming 58667 58667 0 0 Restorative Justice Fellowship Program 3981 3981 0 0 4213 1289 2494 430 375745 322349 39400 13996 244279 566805 0 103049 370000 200000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4898 1809 519772 8336 511436 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 619177 1383099 0 3480 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4836 9489 4836 12969 X 184360 1046612 429981 323518 614341 1370130 619177 1383099 755789 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 8105 147482 433295 635486 370572 1594940 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8105 147482 433295 635486 370572 1594940 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1594940 0 0 0 0 3498 3498 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3498 3498 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 757464 757464 8105 147482 433295 635486 1131534 2355902 0.67700 1 0.00148 0 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 Cash contributions from merger with other FP entities: $237,559; Non-cash contributions from merger with other FP entities (buildings & vehicles): $519,772; Other income (credit card rewards): $353 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 462494 0 4701 457793 0 0 0 0 57278 0 3635 53643 0 0 0 0 511436 9489 9489 1131534 0 0 0 0 0 1131534 0 0 0 1131534 375745 0 0 0 0 0 375745 0 0 0 375745 X 7 57278 Bluebook value X 2 462494 Insurance assessments 0 0 1 0 Form 990, Part III, Line 2 Prior to 2023, the FPN served as a backbone organization for the after-school and summer school educational services of the Sunflower County, Rosedale, and Meridian Freedom Projects.
