Assisting survivors with filing applications for social services and other assistance. 35384 0 250 Fierce Parenting: a series of twelve video training sessions that help parents/caregivers understand the complexities of human sex trafficking and how it affects our children today. We start from the very basics of navigating the internet in a safe way - especially relevant now that kids are required to have vast amounts of screen time due to remote learning. We move into more complex topics such as grooming, sugaring, sexting/sextortion and doxing and give parents/caregivers tools to engage their children so that the whole family unit has the same knowledge and is on the same page and communicating using the same language. 30484 0 0 "Worth It": A program for presentation in middle and high schools."Worth It: is a thought provoking presentation that follows the story of a teenage trafficking victim/survivor that will leave teenagers believing that they can be a part of the solution simply by believing in themselves, understanding their vulnerabilities and by cultivating honest and meaningful friendships with those around them. A great presentation alone will not bring lasting change, which is why the Fierce Freedom presenter will also spend time working with a group of student leaders to create a Fierce Friends Club so that the message of healthy friendships, value, and worth along with awareness to the realities of human trafficking and exploitation continues. The goal is to create a safe and healthy learning environment. Finally, working with students will only be effective with the support of parents and caretakers. This is why Fierce Freedom offers an evening presentation, offering adults tools and understanding to support and protect their students 5889 0 0 Law Enforcement Training: Training sessions for law enforcement and corrections officers on identifying human trafficking, communicating with human trafficking survivors, and effective leverage existing laws to get human trafficking victims away from their traffickers. 36373 0 0 176821 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 8 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 WI X David Almquist 7155051493 2519 N Hillcrest Parkway Suite 200 Altoona WI 54720 Jennifer Almquist Executive Director 50 0 X X 36923 0 0 Aaron Libner President 4 0 X X 0 0 0 David Malone Vice President 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Daniel Carlson Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 David Almquist Secretary 10 0 X X 0 0 0 Cathy Jenson Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Tesha Knudtson Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jennifer McBride Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 36923 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5008 0 0 246063 0 251071 Human Trafficking Prevention Education 813319 3002 3002 0 0 0 0 0 0 3002 0 0 0 0 37746 0 11357 26389 0 26389 1563 6629 -5066 -5066 0 0 0 275396 -2064 0 26389 0 0 396 396 0 0 0 0 36923 12555 12184 12184 0 0 0 0 108149 69246 4692 34211 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13264 7487 1575 4202 36304 31504 4800 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6406 6406 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 116 0 0 116 7713 2424 5217 72 9515 7093 1406 1016 0 0 0 0 28896 23116 2890 2890 4589 4158 32 399 0 0 0 0 795 358 383 54 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 693 416 69 208 7110 4266 711 2133 Operating Supplies 14136 11706 2083 347 Business & License Fees 93 0 93 0 Credit Card Processing Fees 1552 0 0 1552 Printing, Publication, Shipping 3654 2096 237 1321 0 0 0 0 280304 176821 36372 67111 58077 55775 1836 1836 1040 0 1733 1040 61646 58651 4348 1530 0 4730 4348 6260 X 57192 52285 106 106 57298 52391 61646 58651 X -4908 0 0 0 0 1 X 0 0 0 X 116964 63003 138095 199044 251072 768178 116964 63003 138095 199044 251072 768178 314727 453451 0 0 906 166 1072 9653 31612 42582 37694 26390 147931 917181 4565 0.49440 0.82685 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Fundraising Events $26,390 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1040 0 1040 0 0 0 0 1040 3574 MI Income Tax 21 WI Income Tax 785 WI Unempoyment Tax 350 4730 Justice Run (fun run) 32739 2153 30586 0 274 610 159 0 7036 Night of Freedom & Hope (annual gala) 10015 2855 7160 0 0 720 2028 250 280 0 42754 5008 37746 0 274 1330 2187 250 7316 11357 26389 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 David Almquist, board member, is husband of Jennifer Almquist, Executive Director.
