Programs
For Freedom International has run a Child Advocacy Center in Phuket, Thailand since 2017. The Child Advocacy Center is a service provided for victimized children and various government stakeholders involved in forensic interviews of child victims of abuse. It is a child-friendly place where child victims, social workers, medical experts, investigators, personnel from the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, prosecutors and victim support staff can conduct interviews and assess allegations of child sexual and physical abuse. In 2024 For Freedom International prepared a 4th interview suite and equipped it with furniture, tools, and equipment to create an interview room for children. This room provides a suitable environment for interviewing children to help reduce stress and enhance a sense of safety while providing technology to help gather evidence through recording and observing for law enforcement and prosecutors from a separate observation room. For Freedom International also provided Mobiledit Forensic Software, CCI Forensic Software, and Forensic Notes software to support these activities and facilitate accurate gathering of evidence and maintaining effective…
$0 spentFor Freedom International's second primary focus for ministry growth and impact has been in the development of the Vocational Training Center in Phuket, in Partnership with local Thai churches. We support a social worker to administer our Child Advocacy program to train students and teachers in preventing sexual exploitation, rescuing victims of child labor and sexual abuse and exploitation and maintaining a foster care system in cooperation with the local church to care for children rescued from exploitation. For Freedom International Foundation supported on-going programs related to the rescue and rehabilitation of exploited individuals as part of our stated objective to prevent exploitation, to assist those who have been exploited, to rehabilitate and retrain them for careers in baking or salon work, payment for maintenance of a safe house to provide a place for rescued individuals to safely stay during their time of recovery, rehabilitation, and re-training, making possible the freedom to move past the exploitation and forward to safe and productive lives. For Freedom International Vocational Training Center offers two core tracks. The Dessert and Beverage Course trains…
$0 spentIn 2025, For Freedom International continued to provide a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for young girls recovering from exploitation and abuse. The Freedom Shelter is more than a place to sleep-it's a place to heal, grow, and belong. The shelter's expanded living spaces ensure greater comfort and privacy for both the girls and their caretakers. Residents now enjoy more spacious bedrooms, a clean and well-equipped kitchen, and a shared living room that serves as a space for play, creativity, connection, and community meetings. These improvements reflect our commitment to creating an environment that feels like home-one where every girl feels safe, valued, and free to be herself. In addition to providing physical safety, the Freedom Shelter also offers comprehensive medical care, including physical, mental, and dental support, to promote full healing. For girls wishing to pursue their education, we offer financial and academic support to help them continue their studies through non-formal and informal educational pathways, enabling them to work at their own pace and regain confidence in their abilities. For Freedom International Foundation also supported 15 Foster…
$0 spent
The 3 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $0.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $219k to $383k (+75%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
76% of FOR FREEDOM INTERNATIONAL’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $41k → $16.
3 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 27% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of FOR FREEDOM INTERNATIONAL’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
FOR FREEDOM INTERNATIONAL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 73% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
27% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund FOR FREEDOM INTERNATIONAL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 90% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
FOR FREEDOM INTERNATIONAL draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside North Dakota, across 1 state in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $83k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
FOR FREEDOM INTERNATIONAL runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 6,869 religion nonprofits its size.
