Overview

Mission

By educating our community about the reality of human trafficking, we can help schools, churches, parents, and youth prevent and identify incidences of human trafficking. Our prayer is that awareness will help end the spread of this social injustice in Chesterfield, the tri-cities of Petersburg, Colonial Heights, Hopewell and surrounding counties.

What it reported doing in 2025

Section 501(c)(3) organization that provides and focuses on bringing community awareness of the reality of human trafficking, safe places for healing for survivors of human trafficking, transitioning survivors back to mainstream lifestyle, lifelong mentoring, and supporting the needs of law enforcement to bring down trafficking.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
