About Jensen Project
The Jensen Project concentrates on large, targeted investments in organizations working to combat sexual exploitation and support survivors, with a particular emphasis on advocacy and economic empowerment for women and girls. Their grants fund both national advocacy efforts and direct survivor-services that include job training and income-generation, showing a practical orientation toward ending abuse and creating paths to financial independence. The foundation favors a small number of sizable grants rather than broad, diversified giving.

About Jensen Project
The Jensen Project Inc. gives large, targeted grants to organizations working against sexual exploitation and human trafficking, with survivor housing, economic empowerment, and policy advocacy appearing repeatedly in the recent record. Its flagship support includes $580,500 to the National Center on Sexual Exploitation and $505,000 to World Without Exploitation, both tied to efforts to reduce abuse, exploitation, discrimination, and violence against women and girls. The foundation also backs direct-service models that help survivors move toward safety and income, including $420,000 to AnnieCannons Inc for software training and income generation for survivors, and $381,409 to Rescue Hill for safe spaces to heal. Several grants pair advocacy with practical restoration, such as awards to organizations focused on reproductive rights, women’s economic empowerment, and protections against violence. The overall picture is of a private foundation that concentrates its giving in a small number of substantial awards rather than spreading funds broadly. Across the recent grants list, the common thread is sustained support for anti-exploitation work that links prevention, advocacy, housing, and restoration for women and girls.
What Jensen Project Funds
Policy and systems change are a visible part of the portfolio. The Jensen Project Inc. gave $250,000 to Rights4Girls for advocacy on the dignity and rights of young women and girls, and $120,000 to Misssey for awareness, education, and policy development to prevent the sexual exploitation of children and youth. It also supported anti-trafficking coordination with $350,000 to National Child Protection Task Force Inc for strengthening local response networks and sharing investigative expertise. Direct service remains central alongside advocacy. The foundation awarded $352,623 to Frontline Response International for work combating homelessness and sex trafficking through prevention and rescue, and $270,000 to Living in Freedom Together - Lift for shelter, support, education, and safe living for women in peril. Economic empowerment is another recurring theme, including $285,000 to Rebecca Bender Initiative for economic empowerment and housing programs for adult female survivors.
How Jensen Project Gives
Typical grants cluster at substantial levels: the 25th percentile is $120,000, the median is $176,054, and the 75th percentile is $270,000. The recent record shows both repeat grantees and repeat themes. Reflection Ministries of Texas Inc appears twice in the list, and Rebecca Bender Initiative also receives more than one award, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than one-off transactions. The Jensen Project Inc. is a private foundation and a regular funder, and the structured programs include GrantTank, LIFT, and Education & Advocacy. GrantTank is described as a multi-year program with one-, two-, or three-year grants, while LIFT provides capacity-building support as needed throughout the year. Unsolicited applications are accepted for LIFT, but not for GrantTank or the policy-and-advocacy pillar.
