In 2025, the national office of the Association for the Study of African American History and Culture (ASALH) received funding from the Andrew Mellon Foundation to support existing or in-development Freedom Schools by ASALH members and Branches. In September 2025, the Charleston Area Branch of ASALH will be part of the first cohort of members and branches to receive funding. More about the ASALH Freedom School Initiative can be found here.
