OUR HELP SAVE GULLAH-GEECHEE LAND CAMPAIGN: We're proud to announce that during 2018, through key technical assistance and targeting spending of a record-setting $52,533.43--PAFEN was able to save ancestral Gullah-Geechee homes and land with assessed value of $3,038,600! That's up from the previous record of $37.950.07 spent in 2017, to safeguard property with an assessed value of $1,045,100 according to county tax records in Beaufort, Colleton, Georgetown, and Horry counties. And we reached across into Georgia to serve our first Gullah-Geechee client, a widowed native of Hilton Head Island, SC, who needed help to save her share of property that's been in her family since the Reconstruction-era. 52533 401 OUR SECOND ANNUAL (2018) STAND4LAND TAXPAYER EMPOWERMENT WORKSHOP, CO-SPONSORED BY THE HILTON HEAD ISLAND CHAPTER OF THE NATIONAL ACTION NETWORK, AND THE NATIVE ISLAND BUSINESS & COMMUNITY AFFAIRS ASSOCIATION (NIBCAA): Once again, we assembled some of the top expertise in S.C. for a free, public all-day series of 8 specialized sessions designed to teach Gullah-Geechee, and other Palmetto State taxpayers about all the resources available to help them sustain long-term ownership of their property.

It's a small, self-contained unit that can utilize multi-media training resources including videos, webinars, and videoconferences. 0 1805 COMMUNITY OUTREACH & REFERRALS: Additionally, during 2018, we distributed hundreds of pieces of literature and addressed the huge audience during the Original Gullah Festival of South Carolina; signed up for an information booth during the 2018 Heritage Days Celebration at historic Penn Center; opened a satellite STAND4LAND Taxpayer Empowerment Kiosk in Georgetown County; operated an information booth and introduced our non-profit to state lawmakers during the 2018 SC Democratic Party Convention; and left literature with key community influencers.
