Overview

Mission

Heal trafficking leads innovative health solutions to eradicate human trafficking in our communities worldwide. We are an integrated network of over 4,000 survivors and multidisciplinary professionals in 45 countries dedicated to ending human trafficking and supporting its survivors, from a health perspective.

What it reported doing in 2024

The heal trafficking consultancy team partners with health systems and organizations to strengthen their capacity to identify and respond to human trafficking through customized, trauma-informed technical assistance. Services include implementing and tailoring human trafficking response protocols, designing and delivering trainings, reviewing policies and procedures, creating regional response frameworks, developing curricula, and advising on projects for researchers, advocates, service providers, and law enforcement. Using a public health approach, we help organizations address both immediate response needs and the underlying factors that increase vulnerability to trafficking.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 62% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
