Overview

Mission

ANEW is committed to reaching and restoring lives impacted by sex trafficking and sexual exploitation. Our aim is to offer hope and to equip women with the tools needed for independence, a sustainable future, and greater opportunity.

What it reported doing in 2025

Survivor Care - Anew offers programs to address the complex traumas created by sex trafficking. Survivors are provided a safe and stable environment where they can work on restoring good health and habits, discover and develop growing passions, and learn needed skills for a fulfilling life in the future. As survivors move through these phases they are offered a variety of free resources and opportunities such as Trauma-Centered Therapy, Medical and Dental Care, Court Advocacy and Legal Support, and Life Skill Development and Wellness Coaching. There are 3 separate Survivor Care Programs that walk the long-term journey of restoration of survivors. This includes our 18-24 month Residential Program, 18-24 month Non-Residential Program, and Community Participation (for those checking out their options and considering Anew for long-term care and for the woman who has completed long-term care and benefits from staying connected to community and serving as a leader).

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 96% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
