FFC dismantles systemic barriers and fosters pathways to self-sufficiency and ownership through a network of programs. In economic development, FFC emphasizes ownership by equipping youth and adults with skills to create, own, and sustain businesses. Through entrepreneurship training and skilled trades programs, families gain tools to build enterprises and take control of their financial futures. Freedom Farms offers families resources to grow their own food, reducing household expenses and generating income through surplus produce, reinforcing economic self-reliance and local ownership. FFC's educational programs engage over 450 young people, offering academic support, social-emotional growth, and mentorship to build confidence and leadership. These programs help students address educational challenges and set a path toward higher education and careers. By nurturing skills and aspirations, FFC empowers youth to thrive academically and emotionally. FFC also strengthens family stability through essential resources, including food access and financial assistance, along with community events that reinforce social bonds and a support network. Leadership councils, such as the Council of Elders and Council of Harmony, foster cultural continuity and intergenerational unity. Additionally, Initiatives like Conversations and Coffee bridge generational gaps, allowing Elders to share knowledge and stories with younger generations. Restorative justice initiatives offer youth meaningful alternatives to traditional justice systems, promoting accountability, personal growth, and community healing. FFC's civic engagement efforts empower Black families to shape their community's future, ensuring representation and active participation in local decision-making. Together, FFC's programs build a community rooted in ownership, cultural heritage, and self-sufficiency, laying a foundation for generational impact and a more inclusive future in Duluth. 0 0 0 762765 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 13 0 18 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 4 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MN X The Organization 2185224445 310 N 1ST Ave W Suite 108 Duluth MN 55806 Jacob Bell Executive Director 40 0 X 75277 0 0 Abbey DeLisle Board member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Rick Troy Board member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Sharon Witherspoon Board Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Carl Crawford Vice Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Ellie Tofte Holte Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 75277 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 225661 560579 0 786240 Outreach Services 624190 20114 20114 0 0 0 0 0 0 20114 16 0 0 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 806370 20114 0 16 X 7022 7022 75277 30111 45166 0 422855 408355 14500 36397 32037 4360 0 19116 0 19116 0 98120 79870 18250 0 1608 744 864 0 61566 52155 9411 0 14272 1281 12991 0 66561 49921 16640 0 8944 7664 1280 0 256 0 256 0 15337 11503 3834 0 9676 1697 7979 0 Participant Support 79176 79176 0 0 Dues and Subscriptions 824 0 824 0 Bank fees 1326 0 1326 0 6781 1229 5552 0 925114 762765 162349 0 181039 207539 142286 264714 64293 18847 14041 45446 501 16592 337867 534291 250 63084 0 6998 0 27817 250 97899 X 337617 362838 0 73554 337617 436392 337867 534291 -118744 0 0 0 217519 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 137429 69348 155635 710640 786240 1859292 137429 69348 155635 710640 786240 1859292 499124 1360168 15 10 10 15 16 66 45 45 1859403 40697 0.73151 0.7174 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 1 Line 1 has been updated for 2021 & 2022 to reflect proper amounts.
