What Path2freedom Inc does
Mission
Path2freedom exists to create hope and healing for child victims of human trafficking by providing safe environments and long-term programs for recovery.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
In 2025, path2freedom, continued to stengthen and scale the residential safe house services. Providing stable, trauma-informed care for child survivors of commercial sexual exploitation. Through our family-style program model, we served 24 residents across both of our licensed safe homes, delivering consistent structure, safety, and long-term support designed to reduce disruption and promote sustainable healing.
$1,501,498 spent97% of program spendingDuring 2025, path2freedom delivered comprehensive, survivor-centered programming including 10,417 hours of education, 1,083 hours of individual and group therapy, and 1,868 hours of equine services. Residents also received restorative stability through 3,528 safe nights of rest. These services support individualized recovery plans focused on safety, stabilization, continuity of education, and skill-building. Path2freedom tracks resident progress through surveys and program indicators to measure growth over time. In 2025: 82% of residents surveyed reported improved spiritual wellbeing, 80% of residents demonstrated academic progress, and 90% of residents showed improved mood/attitude following equine services.
Path2freedom continued to provide ongoing transition support through aftercare services, bridging the gap between residential care and long-term stability. In 2025, the program provided nearly $3,000 in direct financial assistance to graduates and families and housed two youth who aged out in a transition home while continuing to support their education. Aftercare services focus on sustained mentorship, education support, and life skills development to promote independence and reduce vulnerability to re-exploitation.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2023 to 2024, from $1.9M to $3.0M (+53%).
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: 2019 9% · 2020 41% · 2021 40%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
107% of PATH2FREEDOM INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (93% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 13 funders, grant income rose $6k → $230k.
9 of 40 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 16% 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 PATH2FREEDOM INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 40 funders by total. 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
PATH2FREEDOM INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 41% of grant income and the top three 58%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
85% 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 PATH2FREEDOM INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 57% · 2018 80% · 2019 44% · 2020 23% · 2021 51% · 2022 41% · 2023 62% — growing more concentrated.
“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
42% of PATH2FREEDOM INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 48% 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
91% of PATH2FREEDOM INC's grant income comes from Florida funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $419k 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.
