Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Freedom Project Network (FPN) carries forward the spirit of the 1964 Freedom Schools by holding space for young people - Freedom Fellows - to share their personal and community struggles, to create healing for themselves and their communities, and to study, train, and act on solutions. We aim to build community and power alongside young Mississippians by providing holistic and liberatory educational experiences.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Freedom Project Network carries forward the spirit of the 1964 Freedom Schools by building community and power alongside young Mississippians and by providing holistic and liberatory educational experiences.

  • FREEDOM PROJECT PROGRAMMING: Through afterschool programming during the fall and spring semesters, 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.

    Expenses $504,070 · Grants $156,347

  • 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 23 Alumni fellows enrolled at colleges and universities across the country.

    Expenses $53,706 · Grants $40,250

  • FREEDOM SUMMER: During the summer, Freedom Project programming expands to whole day intensive sessions with students in core academic subjects, enrichment, and leadership development. Current undergraduate students from around the country, as well as local teachers, join the summer staff as Teacher Advisors. Fellows also travel for experiential learning 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.

    Expenses $25,715 · Grants $25,715

  • FREEDOM SUMMER COLLEGIATE: Freedom Summer Collegiate recruits, trains, and funds doctoral candidates to design and facilitate transformative summer seminars at each Freedom Project site. In this program, high-school Freedom Fellows experience a powerful college simulation from the comfort of the Freedom Project and earn college credit from Millsaps College. In 2024, five Freedom Summer Collegiate instructors led college-bridge courses at the Meridian FP, the Sunflower County FP, and the Rosedale FP. Each FP had additional site coordinators to support course logistics. This year, FSC students explored science fiction; theories of education; food, land, and the environment; theories of race & power; and AI large-language models.

    Expenses $21,484 · Grants $20,000

  • FPN PROGRAM SUPPORT: Professional development for staff members; site visits by leadership team of FP sites; data management & analysis; other program expenses.

    Expenses $10,864 · Grants $10,353

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
