To end sex trafficking and child exploitation while empowering survivors to reclaim their lives and thrive on their healing journey.
Our Rescue’s recent giving shows a funder built around trafficking response, survivor support, and the operational tools that support both. The largest recent grant in the data, $228,496 to The Open Door Adoption Agency Inc for adoption expenses, sits alongside a pattern of large awards to adoption agencies, survivor-service organizations, and law-enforcement units working on exploitation cases. The foundation also backs training and capacity building: Human Trafficking Training Center received $120,000 in 2024 and $95,927 in 2025 for training support and training and capacity building support, while The Samaritan Women Institute for Shelter Care received $50,000 for training support. That mix suggests a grantmaker that funds direct services, technical support, and the infrastructure around anti-trafficking work. Its portfolio also includes support for forensic discovery software, K9 units, survivor supplies, and adoption-related expenses and supplies, showing a broad operational approach rather than a single-program focus. Across the recent grants list, the same recipient can appear in more than one year, indicating ongoing relationships with selected organizations.
In adoption-related work, Our Rescue funded multiple organizations with both expenses and supplies. The Open Door Adoption Agency Inc received $228,496 for adoption expenses in 2023 and $51,000 for adoption support in 2024, while Hand in Hand International Adoptions received $180,000 for support and supplies in 2023 and $52,000 for adoption support in 2024. The same pattern appears with Madison Adoption Associates, which received $120,000 for adoption expenses in 2023 and $44,000 for adoption support in 2024. The foundation also supports survivor care and shelter-based services. Komite Inc received $80,000 for survivor support in 2024, and Rejuvenating Women received $80,000 for survivor supplies and equipment support. In trafficking-prevention and response, Human Trafficking Training Center received $120,000 for training support in 2024 and $95,927 for training and capacity building support in 2025. For investigative work, Little Rock Police Department received $55,303 for software for forensic discovery.
Typical grants cluster in a relatively tight range, with p25 at $8,984, median at $11,264, and p75 at $18,717. The recent grants list also shows larger project awards, especially for adoption support, training, and investigative tools. Grants recur across years for several recipients, including Human Trafficking Training Center, The Open Door Adoption Agency Inc, Hand in Hand International Adoptions, Madison Adoption Associates, Komite Inc, Rejuvenating Women, and The Samaritan Women Institute for Shelter Care. Our Rescue also makes program-related investments and funds individuals: False. A Survivor Impact Grant program is publicly promoted, and the site content links to an application page for that grant opportunity.
