What Fannie Lou Hamer Institute of Advocacy & Social Action does
Mission
The primary exempt purpose of The Fannie Lou Hamer Institute of Advocacy & Social Action is charitable. We provide a free community-based rite of passage program for girls ages 6-18. (1) Rite of Passage $45,000 (2) Her~She Girls' Leadership Two Week Summer Camp $20,000 (3) Partnership with Wake County Public Schools $15,000). We have impacted more than 1500 young girls by ensuring that their school suspensions were fair and just, provided a diversionary program so they would have no criminal charges, and allowed a culturally contextual space where they learn the African principles of Ubuntu and Sankofa along with several more.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The Fannie Lou Hamer Institute has partnered with local Wake County Public Schools, has mentored over 250 girls, has provided a diversionary program for Black girls who have negative interactions with the Public School Systems, creating more opportunity for graduation by staying in school, and has been a space for girls to defray any minor criminal charges that they obtain.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $192k to $91k (−53%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund FANNIE LOU HAMER INSTITUTE OF ADVOCACY & SOCIAL ACTION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 78% · 2022 60% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of FANNIE LOU HAMER INSTITUTE OF ADVOCACY & SOCIAL ACTION's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $405k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
