Start Here Project Development is thrilled to announce that our longtime partner, the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation, found out today that Advance Mississippi, a program designed by the Winter Institute and Start Here, has been funded, in full, by George Soros’s Open Society Initiative. Advance Mississippi will train community representatives throughout the state to address the growing number of children in absent-father homes.
“We couldn’t be happier with the opportunity to make Advance Mississippi a reality and help a highly vulnerable population in Mississippi,” said Dr. Susan Glisson, executive director of the Winter Institute. “In this economy, securing the tiniest amount of funding is a great achievement. What Start Here did for us, getting us more than $200,000 during the worst recession any of us have seen–and for a new program–is extraordinary.”
The innovative new program will create a network of about 20 Mississippi social justice organizations, such as the Stennis Institute of Government at Mississippi State University, the Fannie Lou Hamer Institute at Jackson State University, the National Urban League, and the Mississippi Center for Justice. This network will train community stakeholders throughout Mississippi to design programs in their own communities that will, over time, advance the achievements of the local black male population.
“Far and away the most fun thing about working with non-profits is when an organization like the Winter Institute comes to us with an eye toward a particular grant and an idea for a population they want to help,” said Christopher Schultz, founder of Start Here. “You get to brainstorm about the best way to help that population, and when you’re working with someone as passionate and bright as Dr. Susan Glisson, a project as thrilling and difference-making as Advance Mississippi takes shape.”
Advance Mississippi serves the most vulnerable population in the most vulnerable state: According to the 2009 KIDS COUNT Data Book, Mississippi ranks 50th among the 50 states in overall child well-being. Mississippi is also the poorest state in the U.S., with a median income less than $35,000.
