What Red Oak Hope does
Mission
Red Oak Hopes vision is for survivors of sexual exploitation to experience freedom, hope, and restoration. Our mission is to stop cycles of exploitation by providing holistic healing to survivors and collaborating with the community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
By the end of calendar year 2024, international programs changed from expense reimbursement models to grant funding based on historical data and budget forecasts. In 2025, both the international and asia domestic programs were fully transitioned out of Red Oak Hopes organizational structure and into other organizations for future management.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Us domestic: our program in austin, tx exists to provide a holistic response to the needs of sexually exploited and trafficked individuals through (1) supportive housing services where we provide safe, free housing for 18-24 months, comprehensive case management, supportive services, skills development, social support, disability support, and aftercare to support self-sufficiency; (2) community-based services that focus on community crisis response and short-term stabilization with the primary goals of improvements in clients overall safety, well-being, self-sufficiency, and social connectedness so that they can begin or continue to heal from their trauma, obtain economic security, and remain free from re-exploitation or victimization; and (3) through partnership and movement building we work with community stakeholders in collaboratives and coalitions to address the complex issues of human trafficking in our community. See schedule o for 2025 accomplishments.
$586,589 spent81% of program spendingAsia domestic: our asia domestic program grant supports an agency that serves women and children within asia who have been previously trafficked or exploited domestically as well as women and girls who are at high-risk of becoming exploited or trafficked in the future. During 2025 the agency has developed its financial support and will no longer need to be served by Red Oak Hope.

These programs focus on all sides of the issue: prevention, intervention and restoration. We partnered with organizations in those home countries to establish their programs to support these women and children as they rebuild their lives. During 2025 the supported organization has developed its own financial support and will no longer need support from Red Oak Hope.

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 $172k to $248k (+44%).
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: 2021 15% · 2022 10% · 2023 18% · 2024 24% · 2025 24%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
88% of RED OAK HOPE’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 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $33k → $265k.
9 of 21 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 39% 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 RED OAK HOPE’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
RED OAK HOPE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 36% of grant income and the top three 65%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
56% 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 RED OAK HOPE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 76% · 2019 45% · 2020 45% · 2021 82% · 2022 48% · 2023 27% — 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
60% of RED OAK HOPE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 43% 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
75% of RED OAK HOPE's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $373k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
