The Slave 2 Nothing Foundation’s mission is to free people from being enslaved to any person or substance by contributing financially to organizations that align with our causes and actively provide services in communities served by In-N-Out Burger.
Slave 2 Nothing Foundation centers its grantmaking on two linked issues: substance abuse and human trafficking. Its competitive grant program is invitation-only and limited to 501(c)(3) nonprofits providing direct services in the ten U.S. states where In-N-Out Burger operates. That combination of a tightly defined geography and service model shapes a portfolio aimed at prevention, treatment, recovery, rescue, and victim support. Recent grants show repeated support for organizations serving people in recovery and survivors of trafficking. Walter Hoving Home Inc received $260,200 in 2025, the largest recent award in the dataset, and the foundation also made substantial grants to Teen Challenge of Southern California, including $89,100 in 2025 and $75,000 in 2024. On the trafficking side, Polaris Project, GenerateHope Inc, and Streetlightusa appear among recent recipients, reflecting an emphasis on both frontline response and long-term support. The foundation gives at a meaningful scale relative to its size, with annual grants of $7.5 million and total assets of $28.6 million on the latest filing. Its recent record also shows repeat support across multiple years, especially for organizations working in California and other In-N-Out Burger markets.
In substance abuse work, the foundation funds direct-service organizations that provide prevention, treatment, recovery, and support services. Examples include $89,100 to Teen Challenge of Southern California for substance abuse in 2025 and $50,000 to Beacon House Association of San Pedro for substance abuse in 2025. It also backed The River's Edge Ranch with $50,000 in 2024 for substance abuse. Human trafficking grants focus on rescue, support, prevention, education, emergency response, and safe homes. The Salvation Army - Tustin Ranch Corpsorange County Coordination received $65,000 in 2024 for human trafficking, while GenerateHope Inc received $50,000 in 2025 for the same issue. Polaris Project was funded at $50,000 in 2025, and Orangewood Foundation received $50,000 in 2024 for human trafficking. The program language points to 501(c)(3) nonprofits serving communities in the ten states where In-N-Out Burger operates, with an internal vetting process and invitation to submit formal proposals.
