The dreams of the 1963 organizers and marchers and the promises that followed remain unfulfilled. You can download our data analysis below which throws into sharp relief a country where millions of its citizens are devalued, disenfranchised, and denied access to the most basic freedoms enjoyed by others.

While it is heartening to see that Black and White Americans are graduating high school at nearly equal rates, Black children attending deeply segregated and maliciously underfunded schools has greatly contributed to their disproportionately limited proficiency in basic skills and lesser rates of college degree attainment.

FPWA has recently been receiving claims from members of the public emailing and calling our offices that individuals posing as FPWA agents have contacted them claiming that in order for the recipient to claim grant monies from FPWA they must first send the agent personal information, a cell phone number, gift card codes or money.
FPWA does not use social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), text messages or direct phone contact to solicit, review, or make awards. FPWA staff will not call or message you requesting money in order to be eligible for an award.
Further, FPWA does not make grants directly to individuals. FPWA works with its member agency partners and other reputable community-based organizations to direct support to families and individuals in our community.
If you or someone you know has been contacted by someone posing to be an “FPWA Agent” or staff person requesting money to release a grant, please do the following:
