Organizations Filed Purposes: WE IDENTIFY AND INVEST IN THE MOST EFFECTIVE FRONTLINE EFFORTS TO ERADICATE MODERN SLAVERY IN THE COUNTRIES AND SECTORS WHERE IT IS MOST PREVALENT. PARTNERING WITH VISIONARY INVESTORS, GOVERNMENTS, ANTI-SLAVERY ORGANIZATIONS AND THOSE AT RISK OF EXPLOITATION, WE TACKLE THE SYSTEMS THAT ALLOW SLAVERY TO PERSIST AND THRIVE. WORKING TOGETHER, WE PROTECT VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, LIBERATE AND REINTEGRATE THOSE ENSLAVED AND PROSECUTE THOSE RESPONSIBLE.

TO MOBILIZE THE CAPITAL AND KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO END SLAVERY. WE GENERATE PRIVATE FUNDING BY DEMONSTRATING HOW EFFECTIVE INTERVENTIONS CAN PROTECT THOSE AT RISK OF BEING ENSLAVED AND FREE THOSE IN SLAVERY. WE INVEST IN THOSE COUNTRIES AND SECTORS WITH THE GREATEST INCIDENCE OF SLAVERY. WE ANALYZE WHICH INTERVENTIONS WORK BEST, AND WE SHARE THAT KNOWLEDGE. WE BRING TOGETHER A COMMUNITY OF ACTIVISTS COMMITTED TO ENDING SLAVERY AND EMPOWERED BY THE KNOWLEDGE OF HOW BEST TO DO SO.

HOTSPOTS PROJECTS: THE FREEDOM FUND HAS SELECTED KEY GEOGRAPHIC AREAS KNOWN TO HAVE A HIGH INCIDENCE OF MODERN SLAVERY, WHERE OUR INTERVENTIONS ARE MOST LIKELY TO RESULT IN A MEASUREABLE REDUCTION IN SLAVERY. IN OUR HOTSPOT PROJECTS, WE INVEST IN A RANGE OF COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO ENABLE THEM TO PROTECT THOSE AT RISK OF SLAVERY, RESCUE AND REHABILITATE THOSE ENSLAVED, AND PROSECUTE THOSE RESPONSIBLE. THESE HOTSPOT PROJECTS ENCOURAGE COOPERATION BETWEEN LOCAL GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS AND ENSURE AN INTEGRATED, CROSS-DISCIPLINARY APPROACH.

MOVEMENT BUILDING: ORGANIZATIONS AROUND THE WORLD ARE DOING EXCEPTIONAL WORK TO ERADICATE SLAVERY BUT, TOO OFTEN, THESE EFFORTS ARE FRAGMENTED AND UNDERFUNDED. WE AIM TO BUILD A GLOBAL COMMUNITY OF ACTIVISTS, EXPERTS AND DONORS BY PROVIDING THE PLATFORM, KNOWLEDGE, AND TOOLS FOR THEM TO CONNECT AND WORK TOGETHER MORE EFFECTIVELY OVER A SUSTAINED PERIOD. WE USE OUR GLOBAL LEADERSHIP ROLE, AND THE CREDIBILITY CONFERRED BY THE BACKING OF OUR FOUNDERS, TO BRING ACTORS TOGETHER AND ENCOURAGE GREATER COLLABORATION AND COORDINATION.

GLOBAL INITIATIVES: OUR SECTOR INITIATIVES COORDINATE ACTORS AND RESOURCES AROUND A SLAVERY-SPECIFIC ISSUE, INCLUDING SECTORS, INDUSTRIES, OR CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS ALLOWS THE FREEDOM FUND TO TACKLE SYSTEMIC ISSUES LIKE SLAVERY IN FISHING OR CROSS-BORDER MIGRATION WITH NEW TECHNOLOGICAL TOOLS OR LEGAL INITIATIVES. IT FACILITATES A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH AND GREATER COMBINED IMPACT. THE FREEDOM FUND PROVIDES A CHANNEL THROUGH WHICH THOSE WITH FUNDS, KNOWLEDGE, OR INFLUENCE CAN IMPACT INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENTS, MEDIA AND THE CORPORATE SECTOR TO SPEED ACTION.
