What The Little Tree Project does
Mission
Little Tree Project is an anti-human trafficking nonprofit headquartered in South Alabama with the mission to end human trafficking and bring freedom to the exploited through prevention, outreach, rescue, and residential. We envision cultures and communities where sustainable freedom is possible and cycles of slavery are forever broken. For freedom we are planting seeds of change, reclaiming stories, and fighting to end human trafficking.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Little Tree Project fights human trafficking through prevention, outreach, rescue, and residential. The organization accomplishes such efforts through collaborations and partnerships with local and international service providers, law enforcement, employment opportunities, and fellow anti-human trafficking organizations. This includes Rescue America, Selah Freedom, Wellhouse of Alabama, Alabama Anti-Human Trafficking Alliance, the US Probation Office, Fairhope Police Department and more. The organization is consulting under Selah Freedom and the Wellhouse - two experienced and successful organizations with the same cause in order to ensure the best care, holistic services, and trauma-informed programming possible. This includes protocols and procedures, program development, fundraising, and building a dynamic and impactful board, staff, and volunteer base. Little Tree Project is pioneering proper detection, response, and care for anti-human trafficking efforts in South Alabama on a multi-disciplinary level including service providers, NGOs, law enforcement, medical and mental health care, addiction recovery, the hospitality industry, and more

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 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 2025 to 2026, from $20k to $2k (−92%).
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.
100% of The Little Tree Project’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $8 → $15k.
2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 59% 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 The Little Tree Project’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
The Little Tree Project leans on a few funders — its largest provides 59% of grant income and the top three 99%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
59% 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 The Little Tree Project.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 50% · 2022 98% · 2023 99% — 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
59% of The Little Tree Project'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 $15k that is directly attributable, 67% of it comes from Alabama funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $22k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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
The Little Tree Project has grown faster than half of the 245 health nonprofits its size.
