Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Project Souths mission is to build the foundation for successful broad-based social justice movements. Project South, Inc. works directly with communities pushed forward by conditions of poverty and racism in order to strengthen leadership for community organizing on critical frontlines of economic, racial, and social justice.

  • GROUNDWORKS: As part of our Movement Support work, the Groundworks program offers wrap-around strategic supports, fiscal sponsorships, fellowships, workshops, and facilitation consults with predominantly Black-led and frontline organizations in the U.S. South and beyond. Project South provides fiscal sponsorship and fiscal agency for groups doing extraordinary work to advance social, economic, gender, and ecological justice. In addition, Project South, Inc. with three other social justice organizations in the South, created a collaborative project, Southern Power Fund, to raise and distribute funds via grants to Black, Indigenous, and frontline organizations in the U.S. South and Puerto Rico. The steering committee aims to move resources to respond to the needs of movement organizations often left out of traditional funding practices so that Project South, Inc. can continue to build a strong and resourced infrastructure in the South.

    Expenses $9,152,592 · Grants $8,944,030

  • THE MUTUAL AID LIBERATION CENTER: In partnership with the Hunger Coalition of Atlanta, Project South launched the Mutual Aid Liberation Center in July 2017. The two-story building and 5.1 acres of land are located in one of the most historic neighborhoods for African American history in the City of Atlanta. The shared project builds a base of Black residents, youth, and community members in South Atlanta through neighborhood organizing efforts to protect the land, provide education, address and prevent violence, provide emergency relief in the wake of crises, and engage grassroots political power. The Umoja Garden is a working farm that engages community members in agricultural learning opportunities and produces fresh vegetables for communities without access to adequate healthy food options. The 44 acres of land purchased in Spalding County also serve as an education and retreat space for the mutual aid liberation projects.

    Expenses $1,025,290

  • SOUTHERN LAND AND FREEDOM:Project Souths Southern Land and Freedom program and leadership development initiatives increase the number of skilled leaders and organizers with the capacity to implement cross-issue organizing efforts, develop root cause political analysis, and create long-term movement-building strategies. The Southern Land and Freedom program advances the Southern Peoples Initiative, a joint vision of the Southern Movement Assembly to grow new social economy projects, practice a peoples democracy through civic engagement and governance, and protect and defend our communities from violence. Project South coordinates the Black Radio Project, a network of Black and community-owned radio stations across 10 states in the U.S. rural and urban South to develop high-quality content and support communications infrastructure across the region.
