Benefiting Non-Profit Organizations:
Bridge to Freedom Foundation (BTFF) was founded in December 2008 to bridge gaps in information and services which hinder the growth of survivors of modern slavery. BTFF works to enhance and improve the opportunities available to survivors of modern slavery. BTFF accomplishes this by connecting for-profit corporations, community groups, educational establishments and the general public. The cornerstone of BTFF’s work is their support to survivors in the form of personal and professional development. BTFF will launch their personal development pilot program this fall.
Courtney's House was founded in August 2008, by Tina Frundt, a survivor of domestic child sex trafficking, who has advocated tirelessly on children’s domestic sex trafficking issues since 2000. Courtney’s House is powerful dichotomy of mentorship, empathy, and determination. When the formation of Courtney’s House is completed, it will be the only long-term shelter in the Metro which caters specifically to this underrepresented population.
Both BTFF and Courtney’s House are non-profit organizations, who are 100% donor supported, who actively seek an end sex trafficking and modern slavery.
