Overview
Mission
Unir y equipar a la Iglesia para luchar contra la trata de seres humanos. Ayudar a las iglesias a concienciar, luchar contra la trata y apoyar iniciativas contra la trata. In 2013, a missions pastor in Houston, Texas called a meeting with key leaders from a handful of churches across the city to ask one question: how are we confronting the evil of human trafficking? We found that there was much anti-trafficking work being done through young ministries who needed the encouragement and support of the church to be able to fulfill their missions. However, although some financial support was being given, the majority of churches: were not educated on the complexity of human trafficking.
What it reported doing in 2025
The Freedom Church Alliance exists to engage the Church as a unified, collaborative body to make a greater impact in the anti-human trafficking movement. We provide charitable donations to organizations whose purpose is to aid victims of human trafficking.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 61% for direct work, and 39% for grants.
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.
