The Freedom Fund
The Freedom Fund is a U.S. nonprofit organization dedicated to eradicating modern slavery. Founded in 2013 by Humanity United, Legatum, and Walk Free, it operates as a collaborative fund to mobilize knowledge, capital, and willpower in the fight against modern slavery.
Mission and Values
The Freedom Fund's mission is to support the most effective frontline efforts to end slavery by identifying and investing in community-led initiatives. It focuses on protecting vulnerable populations, liberating and reintegrating those enslaved, prosecuting perpetrators, and dismantling systems that permit slavery.
Programs
The Freedom Fund's strategy includes several key programs:
- Hotspot Projects: These involve partnering with community-based organizations in regions with high concentrations of modern slavery. Current hotspots include Brazil, central Nepal, Ethiopia, Myanmar, northern India, Rajasthan, southern India, southeastern Nepal, Thailand, Kenya, and Indonesia.
- Global Initiatives: These initiatives aim to tackle systemic issues that allow slavery to persist. They include efforts to improve supply chain transparency, legal strategies, and mental health support for survivors.
- Movement Building Initiatives: These initiatives focus on strengthening the global anti-slavery infrastructure by providing platforms, tools, and knowledge to enable organizations to work together more effectively.
Impact
As of its first decade, the Freedom Fund has directly impacted over 1.65 million people and supported 225 frontline anti-slavery organizations across 16 countries. It has also played a significant role in policy changes affecting millions more.
Funding
The organization is supported by individuals, foundations, and government agencies. Notable supporters include the Children's Investment Fund, the Stardust Fund, the Cassiopeia Foundation, and a transformative gift from MacKenzie Scott and Dan Jewett.
Leadership
The Freedom Fund is led by its CEO, Nick Grono, a prominent figure in the global anti-slavery movement. Grono previously served as the CEO of the Walk Free Foundation and has been instrumental in building the global anti-slavery movement.
