THE ANNUAL PERCENTAGES BEGINNING WITH FILING YEAR 2014 UNTIL 2021 WERE AS FOLLOWS: 100.00, 74.05, 64.63, 71.53, 67.54, 71.66, AND 72.70. IN FILING YEAR 2021, MISSISSIPPI FIRST RECEIVED AN EXTREMELY LARGE AND UNUSUAL THREE-YEAR GIFT, WHICH DROPPED THE PUBLIC SUPPORT TO 34.73% THAT YEAR. IN 2022, THE PERCENTAGE WAS 29.95 AND IN 2023 IT WAS 28.68, BUT FOR 2024 IT HAS INCREASED TO 32.98 BARELY MISSING THE PERCENTAGE NEEDED. THAT UNUSUALLY LARGE GRANT HAS NOW ENDED AND, FOR REASONS EXPLAINED BELOW, THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES IT WILL MEET THE SUPPORT TEST GOING FORWARD.SOURCES OF SUPPORT:THE ORGANIZATION NORMALLY HAS A BROAD DONOR BASE THAT INCLUDES COMMUNITY AND CORPORATE FOUNDATIONS, PRIVATE CHARITIES, THE GENERAL PUBLIC, AND GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES. IN PRIOR YEARS, THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVED A LARGE FEDERAL GRANT. HOWEVER, BECAUSE 90% OF THESE FUNDS WENT TO SCHOOLS AS SUBAWARDS, THE ORGANIZATION MUST WAIT FOR SCHOOLS TO DRAW DOWN THEIR GRANTS BEFORE IT CAN DRAW DOWN FUNDS. THE AWARD IS THREE YEARS OLD BUT RAMP UP HAS BEEN SLOW. THIS WAS THE SECOND YEAR THE ORGANIZATION QUALIFIED FOR THE SINGLE AUDIT AS A RESULT. MISSISSIPPI FIRST BELIEVES THAT THIS FEDERAL GRANT WOULD OFFSET THE UNUSUALLY LARGE PRIVATE FOUNDATION GRANT RECEIVED IN THE SAME TIME FRAME, BUT DUE TO SLOW RAMP UP, THE ORGANIZATION HAS DRAWN DOWN A SMALLER AMOUNT THAN EXPECTED. NEXT YEAR, WE BELIEVE THAT WE WILL REACH THE MARK.REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BOARD:THE GOVERNING BOARD REPRESENTS THE GENERAL PUBLIC. NONE OF THE MEMBERS ARE, OR HAVE BEEN, FROM THE SAME FAMILY AS EACH OTHER OR ANY MEMBER OF STAFF. THEY HAVE ALSO NEVER REPRESENTED ANY OF OUR FUNDERS. THE ORGANIZATION RECRUITS A DIVERSE RANGE OF PEOPLE WITH CONNECTIONS TO DIFFERENT AREAS OF MISSISSIPPI AND ALSO LOOK FOR A DIVERSITY OF PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUNDS. AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC FACILITIES OR SERVICES:THE ORGANIZATION SERVES THE COMMUNITY THROUGH CHAMPIONING IMPROVED POLICY FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION. RESEARCH EFFORTS HAVE LED TO THE PASSAGE AND EXPANSION OF MISSISSIPPI'S STATE-FUNDED PRE-K PROGRAM, HISTORIC TEACHER PAY RAISES, AND A HOST OF OTHER IMPROVEMENTS TO PUBLIC EDUCATION. IN PRIOR YEARS, EFFORTS LED TO A MORE EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF STATE EDUCATION FUNDING TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS SERVING LOW-INCOME CHILDREN. AS THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE FEDERAL CHARTER SCHOOLS PROGRAM FOR MISSISSIPPI, THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDED SUBGRANTS TO MULTIPLE SCHOOLS SEEKING TO OPERATE HIGH-QUALITY PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOLS. MISSISSIPPI FIRST FURTHER PROVIDED SUBGRANTS TO BOTH CHARTER AND TRADITIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO HELP RECRUIT AND RETAIN TEACHERS. FINALLY, THE ORGANIZATION SUPPORTED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR EDUCATORS SEEKING A TEACHING LICENSE AND FOR CHARTER SCHOOLS HOPING TO IMPROVE THEIR INSTRUCTION.
