Overview

Mission

Allies empowers survivors of trafficking and sexual exploitation through mentorship and a supportive community.

What it reported doing in 2025

In our mentorship program in 2025, 11 new mentees were matched with a mentor, and 40 total mentees were served in programming. Eleven new mentors were trained and equipped to support their mentee. We increased our capacity to walk alongside mentees long-term by further developing an alumni program for our mentor/mentee pairs who have been matched longer than one year and no longer require intensive oversight. Four matches graduated and successfully transitioned to alumni status. We hosted a graduation party for the girls that could attend and have kept in contact with those on the active roster. We continued real talk, real support interpersonal processing groups & elevate mentor support groups to enhance mentor support year-round.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
