These training sessions are usually a part of teacher's in-service sessions. Similar tailored training is also provided for workers in the hotel and restaurant industries through Fierce Freedom's "Be Aware" program. Programming has also been developed and implemented with area municipal and county law enforcement agencies to provide officers with skills to identify victims of trafficking and to use existing laws and legal procedures to give victims opportunity to be removed from their situation. General human trafficking awareness training is also given to many community, church and social organizations to heighten awareness of the issue and to empower individuals to know what signs to look for in their communities and how to report suspicious activity. 23577 50 Survivor Support and Advocacy: Fierce Freedom interacts directly with victims of Human Trafficking by providing them with referrals and financial assistance for trauma counseling, job skills coaching, and medical & dental care. We assist survivors with locating affordable housing and a stock of donated clothing and personal care products is maintained to provide to victims as they are leave their traffickers. Victim advocates help survivors navigate legal and bureaucratic situations to help them apply for government and privately funded assistance and help them re-assimilate into society. 21846 44 Awareness and Prevention Training for At-Risk Youth: Fierce Freedom provides classroom and school assembly programs in public and private schools to teach middle and high school students about what human trafficking looks like in their hometowns. This training equips the students to identify if they or their friends are at risk of being trafficked and practical steps they can take to avoid this from occurring. Fierce Freedom has developed a specialized version of this curriculum which is used in area Juvenile Detention Centers, where the population is at an elevated risk of being victimized by traffickers. 23793 0 0 Apportioning of general expenses such as rent, utilities, etc. to Program Services 23793 0 0 115280 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 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 0 0 5 1 1 1 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 0 0 0 1 0 0 WI X David Almquist 7155051493 2519 N Hillcrest Parkway Suite 100 Altoona WI 54720 X Jennifer Almquist Executive Director 40 0 X 32295 0 0 Jennifer McBride President 4 0 X X 0 0 0 David Malone Vice President 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Daniel Carlson Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 David Almquist Treasurer 6 0 X X 0 0 0 Nicole Schultz Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Cathy Jenson Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Tesha Knudtson Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 32295 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6461 0 0 142734 0 149195 Human Trafficking Awareness & Education 813319 4380 4380 0 0 Fierce Freedom Advocates 813319 689 689 0 0 44 44 0 0 5113 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 45082 6382 0 45082 0 45082 0 0 0 0 0 0 2059 972 1087 0 1087 0 0 200477 5113 1087 45082 X 0 0 372 372 0 0 0 0 30000 18000 6000 6000 0 0 0 0 72086 51933 9225 10928 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7831 4941 1250 1640 16059 8818 2516 4725 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 972 24 890 58 4823 765 4034 24 6415 1644 3364 1407 0 0 0 0 19923 13946 3984 1993 7701 7296 265 140 0 0 0 0 2233 370 1863 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 693 347 173 173 4014 2529 642 843 Operating Supplies 16586 3123 6106 7357 Printing, Publication, and Shipping 2497 1172 220 1105 Business Taxes & Fees 54 0 54 0 Credit Card Processing Fees 250 0 0 250 0 0 0 0 192509 115280 40586 36643 34957 41473 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1696 1675 0 0 3119 693 3119 2426 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 39772 45574 5569 3403 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5569 3403 X 0 0 0 0 34203 42171 34203 42171 39772 45574 7968 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 55944 78423 116964 63003 138095 452429 55944 78423 116964 63003 138095 452429 452429 2100 2100 906 5106 9653 31612 42582 83847 541382 15891 0.83569 0.88965 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Fund Raising Events: "Night of Freedom and Hope" an annual dinner gala, $7629 and "Justice Run", a community fun run, $24,953 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3119 693 2426 0 0 0 0 2426 Schedule D, Part IV, Line 1d Photo Copier 2019 Justice Run 38634 4142 34492 0 78 1030 256 200 6594 2019 Night of Freedom and Hope 10868 2240 8628 0 0 480 1618 50 502 0 49502 6382 43120 0 78 1510 1874 250 7096 10808 32312 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 David Almquist, Treasurer is spouse of Jennifer Almquist, Executive Director.These two individuals are the co-founders of the organization.
