Through grant-making and related activities the Fund for Southern Communities fosters social change initiated by community-based groups in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. false false 376439 197115 1590 The Fund for Southern Communities (FSC or The Fund) provides the financial resource to help move groups from thought to action. FSC supports small community groups working for environmental justice, anti-racism, women's rights, youth development, LGBTQ rights, worker's rights, civil rights and disability rights and other varied issues that address social change through community organizing. Grantees not only benefit from financial support, but they are also given technical assistance. FSC is unusual in that it awards grants to community organizations that are working to address the systems and structures that cause community problems. Often traditional charities and private foundations overlook these organizations because their projects are considered too new, the organization too small, or their objectives are too controversial. The Fund is willing to make grants to these groups and organizations because we believe that communities working on their own behalf are powerful forces for change. 376439 true true false false false true false false false true true true false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false true false true false false false true true true true true true true false false GA X ALICE JENKINS 4043718404 4153 - C Flat Shoals Parkway decatur GA 30034 ALICE EASON JENKINS Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 105000 0 11400 DARREN HOLMES Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DEMETRIA LEDBETTER Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 IMARA CANADY Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SHELIA MOORE Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRYSTAL MORRIS Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 SHANON PAZDERA Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRIAN K SANDERS Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 105000 11400 1 false false false 0 253604 253604 SERVICES 1590 1590 1590 120916 120916 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 OTHER REVENUE 2683 2683 2683 378793 4273 120916 197115 197115 0 0 0 117090 77784 17469 21837 0 17614 11701 2628 3285 14101 9367 2104 2630 0 5757 3824 859 1074 2078 2078 0 1750 1750 0 0 5560 5560 2468 1639 369 460 0 5427 3606 809 1012 2280 1515 340 425 0 37400 24845 5580 6975 516 516 0 0 0 0 0 4472 2971 667 834 PROGRAM EXPENSES 41100 41100 BANK SERVICE CHARGES 401 266 60 75 OTHER 286 190 43 53 0 455415 376439 40316 38660 642664 350687 82058 0 110253 6940 0 0 0 0 0 3994 3994 57792 57792 0 3365380 3562854 500000 500000 0 28063 2194 2100 2100 4734512 4428769 241113 40361 28063 2194 269176 42555 X 2245141 2059371 2220195 2326843 4465336 4386214 4734512 4428769 X -76622 -2500 X false true X false false X 1815699 2540167 1232755 458514 253604 6300739 0 0 1815699 2540167 1232755 458514 253604 6300739 1320466 4980273 30532 54564 38673 44291 120916 288976 0 10427 6547 409 2683 20066 6609781 0.75350 0.75890 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 7 18100 397239 true true 1898225 66579 1964804 1662490 235735 1898225 1504633 157857 1662490 1702297 -197664 1504633 1364766 3000 334531 1702297 0.42000 0.58000 false false false 9349 9349 48443 48443 500000 LEASE LIABILITY 2194 2194 X Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund. GENERALLY FOR GRANT MAKING AND OPERATING Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, there are no known items which would result in a material accrual related to where the Organization has federal or state attributable tax positions. Generally, a taxing authority has three years to examine a tax return from the later of the filing date or extended due date. true 3D GIRLS 2117 BOLTON ROAD NW ATLANTA GA 30318 455319886 20000 0 SBGWC Emergency Grant EVERY BLACK GIRL 4104 HIGHLAND PARK DRIVE COLUMBIA SC 29204 812865134 20000 0 BLACK GIRL DREAM FUND SOUTHERN NEIGHBORHOODS NETWOR 1702 DANCING FOX RD DECATUR GA 30032 621190942 6000 0 ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT THE POWER OF GIRLS 400 W PEACHTREE ST NW 2016 ATLANTA GA 30308 813314197 20000 0 EMERGENCY GRANT TRANS FORMING 1012 CAMELOT DRIVE ATLANTA GA 30349 581426028 78550 0 VARIOUS 4 1 Additional Supplemental Information The Fund for Southern Communities will only make grants to organizations with a 501(c)(3) IRS tax status, a limited number of 501(c)(4) groups, or organizations that have a fiscal sponsor agreement.
