Overview
Mission
Our mission is to serve survivors of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation with a trauma-informed approach fueled by the love of Christ.
What it reported doing in 2024
Drop-In Center: Located on a nationally known hotspot for human trafficking, the drop-in center is a safe space designed to identify victims of trafficking, build trust, and increase access to care. Survivors can access items for their basic needs, meet with a licensed professional counselor, join support groups and classes, and work with a case manager on goals like getting an identification card, accessing medical care, or finding a job.In 2024, the drop-in center served 524 survivors through 4,202 visits. Staff provided 1,195 case management sessions, 642 counseling sessions, and 445 safety plans, and distributed 2,903 meals with 2,539 referrals to partner organizations.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 67% 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
