We create opportunities to do just that by empowering them to take the first step through education and purposeful purchasing. We bring awareness to community members and training first responders about human trafficking and what we can do. Stories Foundation uses business to create opportunities for survivors and those vulnerable. Stories also held events during the year to further the message. 7895 0 1647 The Love, Sophia Project is Stories Foundation's outreach and prevention program that covers emotional vulnerabilities in 14-24 year olds by providing education about healthy relationships and safe community. We engaged volunteers to help pack 300 outreach bags and distribute them to the community in 2023, and all of what we do is geared towards preventing human trafficking. We also served 12 survivors in 2023 through wrap around services. 3260 0 45037 Storyteller Cafe - We bought land in 2021 and we have continued to fundraise the money needed to build a giveback cafe where we will sell food products and boutique items as well as host awareness events with the goal of spreading awareness about human trafficking, empowering people to make a difference through purposeful purchasing as a first step, and create opportunities for survivors and those vulnerable through jobs and housing. The project is still in process as of the end of 2023. 0 0 0 187240 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 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 6 0 1 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 10 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 MN X Stephanie Page 6129879077 5001 Edinbrook Terrace Minneapolis MN 55443 Stephanie Page Executive Director 40 0 X 52000 0 0 Jan Eitzen Board Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Mark Thurston Vice Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Tami Freed Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Courtney Anderson Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Shannon Zimhelt Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Tony Loyd Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Scott Van Daalen Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Kim Tanner Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Sherrill Thurston Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Ana Lena Copeland Member 40 0 X 0 0 0 52000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 20505 0 0 263682 0 284187 0 2932 2932 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14152 20505 10536 3616 0 3616 5579 2646 2933 2933 0 0 0 293668 5865 0 3616 52000 41600 2600 7800 114123 93476 5647 15000 5300 4447 83 770 13222 10695 728 1799 14534 0 14534 0 6255 1955 4300 0 3554 2889 537 128 1673 0 1673 0 11096 5713 2350 3033 15032 12176 752 2104 1354 1192 162 0 3704 1610 1993 101 2013 1630 101 282 Grant Expenditures 4566 0 0 4566 Processing Fees 3317 0 1694 1623 Property Taxes 3260 3260 0 0 Loss on Disposal of Asset 2200 2200 0 0 5303 4397 906 0 262506 187240 38060 37206 327532 227904 150 0 1372 530 165541 21089 116604 144452 28642 139978 1317 1317 475617 514181 8561 7525 8561 7525 X 134696 178816 332360 327840 467056 506656 475617 514181 31162 8438 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 55672 157609 452351 269046 284187 1218865 55672 157609 452351 269046 284187 1218865 1218865 2 5 905 6 2932 3850 1222715 0.99685 0.99910 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 68945 68945 0 75507 0 75507 0 0 0 0 0 21089 21089 0 0 0 0 0 144452 Donated Stocks 139978 F 139978 Golf 16971 7139 9832 0 0 0 0 0 8159 Run 7183 4593 2590 0 0 0 0 0 877 1 10503 8773 1730 0 0 0 0 0 1500 34657 20505 14152 0 0 0 0 0 10536 10536 3616 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Mark Thurston (Vice Chair) and Sherrill Thurston (Member) are married and are also the parents of Stephanie Page (Executive Director).
