Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part III, Line 2

In october of 2021, minnesota freedom fund (mff) launched its post-release program to increase support for the individuals whose bails we pay and better balance the civil liberties of people accused of crimes with the well-being of our communities. Our clients face significant obstacles when they're released from jail, many of which contribute to future involvement with the criminal legal system. Many of our clients are experiencing extreme poverty and houselessness, making it difficult to access basic resources like housing, food, and employment. Critical services like treatment for mental health and chemical dependency are often even further out of reach for individuals we serve. Mff's post-release team reaches out to every person for whom we pay bail within 1 to 2 days of their release to arrange in-person meetings. Staff assess clients' needs, connect them with existing resources and services, and provide court reminders. Post-release staff have backgrounds working with people experiencing mental health and chemical dependency issues, and they deliver case management services through a harm reduction, trauma informed, and housing first lens.

THAT WAS DONE BY A TEAM OF 5 WITH PEOPLE PAYING BAIL ALMOST EVERY WEEKDAY FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR. PAYING IMMIGRATION BONDS: IN 2021 MFF EXPANDED ITS IMMIGRATION WORK, NOT ONLY DID MFF POST 76 BONDS TOTALING $811,500 FOR PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY, MFF ALSO EXPANDED ITS TEAM, PROVIDED TRANSLATION SERVICES TO PEOPLE WHILE THEY WERE AWAITING APPOINTMENTS AT IMMIGRATION CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT, AND STARTED DOING COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND OUTREACH AROUND IMMIGRATION ISSUES. POST RELEASE SUPPORT: IN OCTOBER OF 2021, MFF LAUNCHED ITS POST-RELEASE PROGRAM TO INCREASE SUPPORT FOR THE INDIVIDUALS WHOSE BAILS WE PAY AND BETTER BALANCE THE CIVIL LIBERTIES OF PEOPLE ACCUSED OF CRIMES WITH THE WELL-BEING OF OUR COMMUNITIES. OUR CLIENTS FACE SIGNIFICANT OBSTACLES WHEN THEY'RE RELEASED FROM JAIL, MANY OF WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO FUTURE INVOLVEMENT WITH THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM. MANY OF OUR CLIENTS ARE EXPERIENCING EXTREME POVERTY AND HOUSELESSNESS, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO ACCESS BASIC RESOURCES LIKE HOUSING, FOOD, AND EMPLOYMENT. CRITICAL SERVICES LIKE TREATMENT FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY ARE OFTEN EVEN FURTHER OUT OF REACH FOR INDIVIDUALS WE SERVE. MFF'S POST-RELEASE TEAM REACHES OUT TO EVERY PERSON FOR WHOM WE PAY BAIL WITHIN 1 TO 2 DAYS OF THEIR RELEASE TO ARRANGE IN-PERSON MEETINGS. STAFF ASSESS CLIENTS' NEEDS, CONNECT THEM WITH EXISTING RESOURCES AND SERVICES, AND PROVIDE COURT REMINDERS. POST-RELEASE STAFF HAVE BACKGROUNDS WORKING WITH PEOPLE EXPERIENCING MENTAL HEALTH AND CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY ISSUES, AND THEY DELIVER CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES THROUGH A HARM REDUCTION, TRAUMA INFORMED, AND HOUSING FIRST LENS.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0IN OCTOBER OF 2021, MINNESOTA FREEDOM FUND (MFF) LAUNCHED ITS POST-RELEASE PROGRAM TO INCREASE SUPPORT FOR THE INDIVIDUALS WHOSE BAILS WE PAY AND BETTER BALANCE THE CIVIL LIBERTIES OF PEOPLE ACCUSED OF CRIMES WITH THE WELL-BEING OF OUR COMMUNITIES. OUR CLIENTS FACE SIGNIFICANT OBSTACLES WHEN THEY'RE RELEASED FROM JAIL, MANY OF WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO FUTURE INVOLVEMENT WITH THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM. MANY OF OUR CLIENTS ARE EXPERIENCING EXTREME POVERTY AND HOUSELESSNESS, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO ACCESS BASIC RESOURCES LIKE HOUSING, FOOD, AND EMPLOYMENT. CRITICAL SERVICES LIKE TREATMENT FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY ARE OFTEN EVEN FURTHER OUT OF REACH FOR INDIVIDUALS WE SERVE. MFF'S POST-RELEASE TEAM REACHES OUT TO EVERY PERSON FOR WHOM WE PAY BAIL WITHIN 1 TO 2 DAYS OF THEIR RELEASE TO ARRANGE IN-PERSON MEETINGS. STAFF ASSESS CLIENTS' NEEDS, CONNECT THEM WITH EXISTING RESOURCES AND SERVICES, AND PROVIDE COURT REMINDERS. POST-RELEASE STAFF HAVE BACKGROUNDS WORKING WITH PEOPLE EXPERIENCING MENTAL HEALTH AND CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY ISSUES, AND THEY DELIVER CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES THROUGH A HARM REDUCTION, TRAUMA INFORMED, AND HOUSING FIRST LENS.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1A COPY OF THE 990 IS PROVIDED TO THE CO-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE.
