We unite the global tech industry to protect children from online sexual exploitation and abuse. Our vision is a digital world where children can play, learn, and explore, free from the threat of sexual abuse.
A $1,000,000 research grant to UNICEF USA is the clearest signal in Technology Coalition Inc’s recent giving: the foundation backs work aimed at preventing online child sexual exploitation and abuse. Its grantmaking pairs large research support with smaller operating and consulting awards, all tied to child safety online, detection and reporting, response and support, and research on emerging harms. The pattern is visible in its support for Thorn, which received $634,000 in 2024 and $55,500 in 2023 for combatting child abuse. Technology Coalition Inc also funds organizations that connect research to practice, including the Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center, whose grants were tied to improving the lives of abused children in Dallas and providing national leadership on child abuse issues. Across the recent grants list, the foundation’s work centers on evidence-based efforts to reduce abuse and strengthen the systems that identify, study, and respond to it. The grant portfolio includes research institutions, advocacy groups, and technical organizations rather than individual recipients, reflecting a programmatic approach to the issue.
Research is a central theme. Technology Coalition Inc gave $1,000,000 to UNICEF USA for research initiatives, and its active programs describe support for research that deepens understanding of online child sexual exploitation and abuse and translates findings into real-world impact. The foundation also funds prevention and deterrence work through its research programs, including support for studies on grooming patterns, perpetrator behavior, and content moderation. On the operational side, it gave $20,000 to the Trust & Safety Professional Association to develop and enforce principles and policies that define acceptable behavior and content online, plus $10,000 for the same purpose in 2024. It also supports local child-abuse services: Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center received $30,000 in 2025 for improving the lives of abused children in Dallas and providing national leadership on child abuse issues.
Typical grant size is moderate, with a p25 of $26,000, a median of $55,500, and a p75 of $634,000. The recent list shows both one-off awards and repeat support: Thorn received grants in 2023 and 2024, Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center in 2024 and 2025, and Trust & Safety Professional Association in 2024 and 2025. The foundation does not fund individuals and makes no program-related investments. Its listed programs are structured collaborations with Safe Online and related partners, and the scraped program descriptions indicate they do not accept unsolicited requests.
