Ideal Applicant
A nonprofit working to reduce modern slavery or support survivors, typically an established charitable organization with evidence of frontline work, policy or research impact, and capacity to manage grants in the $50K–$300K range.
Good Fit
- • Mission aligned with ending modern slavery or supporting survivors.
- • Track record of frontline services, legal/policy work, or rigorous research.
- • Organizational capacity to manage mid-sized grants ($50K–$300K).
- • Geographic footprint or partnerships in the U.S. (especially DC, NY, CA) or ability to demonstrate national relevance.
- • Willingness to participate in partnership programs or share evaluation data.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached organizations across 8 different states, showing multi-state reach even though one state received a plurality (~45%) of dollars.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 18 distinct recipients and a pattern of both returning grantees and new entrants (12 repeat grantees and 6 new ones), indicating a broadly distributed recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows multiple new grantees in recent years (5–6 per year), which indicates new entrants can be funded, but no formal application process was published so openness cannot be confirmed as fully open.
