What Freedom Insight does
Mission
Freedom Insight works to equip individuals, civic groups, and non-profits with best practices to sustain in the fight against human trafficking in the bay area and beyond.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Frontline trainings:we provide training to workers in frontline industries impacted by human trafficking, such as airports, apartments, and hotels. By teaching employees to identify and report the signs of human trafficking at their workplace we are disrupting the business cycle of trafficking, making it harder for the trafficker to effectively run their business. We also utilize a strong local network of law enforcement entities and organizations who intervene for victims and provide care for the survivors. Our unique approach allows us to concentrate on understanding and changing the environments that enable the business of human trafficking to prosper. By leveraging research and data, we aim to transform the conditions that make human trafficking possible, creating safer communities where exploitation is no longer an option. In fy 2025, the organization expanded its airports initiative and industry outreach through a community day of action in san mateo and participation in several regional and national events, including beyond the farm (a stanford-hosted care kit packing event), the alean conference, and the ma interdisciplinary human trafficking conference. The organization…
$176,501 spent93% of program spendingCollaboration:the work to fight local trafficking continues to require coordination among a diverse group of agencies and organizations, so we remain a collaborative leader and active participant in numerous regional task forces and coalitions. We facilitate collaboration and encourage institutional and relational connections to bolster both prevention and victim care initiatives.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2018 to 2019, from $388k to $279k (−28%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of FREEDOM INSIGHT’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $11k → $128k.
7 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 62% 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 FREEDOM INSIGHT’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
FREEDOM INSIGHT leans on a few funders — its largest provides 35% of grant income and the top three 77%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
64% 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 FREEDOM INSIGHT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 55% · 2019 60% · 2020 35% · 2021 30% · 2022 33% · 2023 41% — diversifying over time.
“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.
How long its funders stay
67% of FREEDOM INSIGHT's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 64% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
62% of FREEDOM INSIGHT's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $392k that is directly attributable, 92% of it comes from funders outside California, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $633k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
