The Human Trafficking Fund

There are more people trapped in human trafficking today than at any other point in history. What can be done?

The Strategy in a Nutshell
The Problem

27.6 million people exploited for labor, services, and commercial sex

The Solution

Disrupt the profit economy of trafficking

“Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?”

Isaiah 58:6

Let’s chat

We would love to walk you through the strategy behind the fund. Join us for a next-step conversation designed for prospective givers who believe disrupting the business of trafficking is the strategic frontier.

01:The Problem

Human trafficking is one of the greatest evils of our age: the buying and selling of God’s children for profit.

An estimated 27.6 million people are trafficked today, separate from the broader 49.6 million trapped in modern slavery: forced into labor, servitude, and sexual exploitation, stripped of freedom and dignity. This isn’t a relic of history; it’s happening now, in our cities, our neighborhoods, and our digital spaces.

Too often we imagine evil as random or isolated. But trafficking is neither. It is organized, coordinated, and profitable: in many places, more unified than the Church itself. It operates as a business, and like any business, it thrives because it tragically is “working.”

The appetite for cheap goods, services, and commercial sex keeps the cycle alive, generating $528.5 billion annually. Profits are laundered, reinvested, and scaled.

Human trafficking is not a random crime. It is a structured business, and that means it can be broken. The Human Trafficking Fund is here to do exactly that.

02:The Strategy
The Trafficking Business

Every industry has a model

Trafficking is no different. It runs on three gears: supply, logistics, and demand.

For this fund, our focus is clear: disrupting the supply and demand for sex trafficking.

Mapping the trafficking system

Trafficking operates as a business, and understanding its three gears reveals where it can be broken:

01 · Supply

Poverty, conflict, and lack of opportunity create vulnerability. Then traffickers recruit vulnerable individuals through force, fraud or coercion.

02 · Logistics

Networks move people across borders and platforms, disguising exploitation behind legitimate industries.

03 · Demand

The appetite for cheap goods, services, and commercial sex keeps the cycle alive, generating $528.5 billion annually. Profits are laundered, reinvested, and scaled.

When we make trafficking more expensive than the revenue it produces it bankrupts the business. This is turning moral conviction into market disruption.
The Solution

Disrupt the profit economy of trafficking

Human trafficking is not a random crime. It is a structured business, and that means it can be broken by strategically weakening points in the process.

Trafficking endures because it’s efficient. By making it riskier, harder, and far less profitable, the business model itself begins to fail.

When we make trafficking more expensive than the revenue it produces it bankrupts the business.

The Solving Human Trafficking Fund exists to strengthen the fight against exploitation: expanding current efforts while piloting what it looks like to take the battle to the local level.

Our mission is to disrupt the business of trafficking by shrinking the supply of vulnerable victims, dismantling operational networks, and decimating demand.

Our focus
01

Shrinking the supply of vulnerable victims.

02

Dismantling the operational networks that move people across borders and platforms.

03

Decimating the demand that keeps the cycle alive.

We define winning as
01

A measurable reduction in domestic trafficking activity and profitability.

02

The collapse of trafficking networks as the cost of business exceeds the profit.

03

Equipping the heroes on the ground with tools to fight better on a local, national and global level.

The Opportunity

Fighting in the skies and on the ground

The most innovative and courageous organizations are already on the frontlines. Together, these leaders represent a new generation of problem solvers, deploying redemptive capital to bankrupt the business of exploitation.

The Solving Human Trafficking Fund exists to strengthen the fight against exploitation, expanding current efforts while piloting what it looks like to take the battle to the local level.

Unlocking investible capital to drive traffickers out of business turns generosity into strategy: making trafficking more expensive than the revenue it produces, until the business itself collapses.

03:Fund Allocation Strategy

Capital deployed through the fund follows four strategic allocations: Map the System, Disrupt National Supply, Pilot Local Disruption, and Incubate Sustainable Solutions. Together they make trafficking riskier, harder, and far less profitable, from unified data to strategic litigation, city-based enforcement tools, and redemptive business models.

Allocation 01

Map the System

You can’t disrupt what you can’t see. We’re investing in unified, accurate data to measure and expose the problem. Conflicting information slows the fight, so we’re funding clear data mapping and advancing digital mapping that aggregates insights from law enforcement, NGOs, and financial institutions. By revealing networks, hotspots, and key players, visibility fuels strategy, enabling smarter interventions and faster response.

FocusUnified data and digital mapping
SourcesLaw enforcement, NGOs, financial institutions
Allocation 02

Disrupt National Supply

Supply only exists where demand allows it. A new generation of justice advocates is raising the cost of exploitation through strategic litigation and policy reform: holding perpetrators and platforms accountable. Every lawsuit won and law enforced increases the pressure, blocks exploitative content, dismantles profit channels, and shuts down the platforms that enable abuse.

FocusStrategic litigation and policy reform
ScopeNational
Allocation 03

Pilot Local Disruption

Trafficking endures because it’s efficient. We’re accelerating city-based efforts with technology and investigative tools that empower law enforcement to track, trace, and intercept traffickers. By tightening the net, we make trafficking riskier, harder, and far less profitable.

FocusTechnology and investigative tools
ScopeCity-based pilots
Allocation 04

Incubate Sustainable Solutions

Enforcement alone won’t win this fight. Through the Clapham Accelerator, we’re backing more than 150 entrepreneurs and investors developing redemptive business models: creating dignified jobs, reducing vulnerability, and closing the economic gaps traffickers exploit.

The Power of Building, Investing and Giving Together

The Solving Trafficking Fund

SWGP Giving Funds unite world-class portfolio management with the Faith Driven content and community you trust, transforming generosity into impact.

God calls us to radical generosity: not obligation, not guilt, but an invitation to the joy-filled adventure. When you’ve been rescued you want to rescue others, this is your moment.

You want to give. You want to find that cause to rally around. But we don’t have the time or tribe to be intentional.

Busy lives don’t leave room to analyze every investment or vet every charity. We’re overwhelmed, pulled in a hundred directions: wallets clenched, hearts tugged, minds skeptical. Deep down, we know there has to be a better way. That’s why we’re building collaborative giving funds, uniting content, community, and tools that make it possible to do more, together.

Co-Founders of the Fund

Keel Point

Thrilled to recognize that Keel Point is a catalytic partner who helps shape, launch, and steward the mission of this fund from the beginning.

Independent Strategic Review: Every 2 Years

We are committed to excellence and transparency, which is why we engage independent third-party organizations, including Calvin Edwards & Company, All Access International, and Brightlight Impact, to evaluate our work. Every two years, each fund undergoes an external review made available to prospective donors and partners. This review outlines the fund’s theory of change, portfolio analysis, governance, operations, and grantmaking practices. It also reviews investment activity and verifies the accuracy of reporting, ensuring donors can give with confidence and clarity.
