We have much to commemorate; but our celebration is tempered by the recognition of greater challenges that lie ahead. The Fund’s victories in 2006-2007 have been generated by our grantees and donors, so thank you for your hard work and gen - erous support. In honor of our 25th anniversary, which drew to a close at the end of fiscal year 2007, the staff at the Fund chose to honor our partners – grantees and donors alike – through spotlights and snippets in a wall calendar format. The coming year portends much change, some pos - itive, some foreboding, and we thought we could all use a daily reminder of the solidarity of the social justice movement in the Southeast as seen through the eyes of the FSC com - munity. Let us remember each day the equity and freedom that we are fighting for and Judith Chaet Angela Y.

Darren Holmes Chair, Board of Directors www.fundforsouth.org FSC GRANTMAKING The Fund for Southern Communities awards grants each year to organizations that are working to make progressive social change on a systemic level. FSC focuses on groups that build community-based responses, not solutions that affect just a few individuals and leave the underlying social problems intact. The following list of organ - izations are working to change attitudes, behaviors, laws, policies and institutions in order to better reflect the values of inclusion, fairness, diversity and opportunity. These groups insist on accountability and responsiveness among institutions, including the government, large corporations, universities and other entities whose policies and actions profoundly affect the living conditions of individuals and communities, whether locally, nationally or internationally.
