The Freedom Fund

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 measurable 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.

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.

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.
