What UnBound North Texas does
Mission
Unbound North Texas exists to support survivors and resource the community to fight human trafficking through Survivor Advocacy, a 24/7 Drop-In Center, and Prevention and Awareness.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Survivor Advocacy: Unbound North Texas served survivors in North Texas in fiscal year 2022 with wraparound, relational advocacy. Unbound Now's team of advocates, serving youth and adults, provides both crisis response and ongoing case management. The team includes seven full-time, trained staff advocates, two Master's level program managers, and is led by a licensed clinical social worker. Two staff members are always on call to assist victims. Crisis response may include accompaniment for emergency medical treatment; arrangement of emergency shelter, food, and clothing; and response to other urgent needs. Ongoing case management and support includes regular meetings, goal setting, safety planning, transportation to needed services, accompaniment for interview and court appearances, and Crime Victims' Compensation assistance. Our advocates pave the way for survivors to exert their self-determination from the very first meeting. The Unbound Now Advocacy team uses evidence-based, trauma-informed, and survivor-centered practices to ensure that the relationship built between a survivor and their advocate is established quickly and carries through to support effective healing and…
$743,596 spent62% of program spendingThe Underground Drop-in Center: Open 24/7, The Underground offers youth through age 22 a safe place to rest, enjoy a meal, shower, participate in case management, GED and other empowerment programming, and receive referrals for additional services. This refuge for services helps Unbound Now identify typically difficult- to-reach youth in order to intervene earlier in their trafficking experience, sometimes before they are exploited. Additionally, The Underground includes a soft interview room where youth who have been victimized can share their difficult stories in a warm, comforting, and therapeutic environment. In the last grant year, The Underground served 400 unduplicated youth. Youth who exhibit clear-concern for human trafficking, as determined through the validated Commercial Sexual Exploitation Identification Tool (CSE-IT), are invited to work with an Unbound Now Advocate to help the survivor carry forward their restorative process for as long as needed. Others, who may be experiencing homelessness, family conflict, sexual abuse, or domestic violence are at high risk of exploitation and receive care at the Underground, as well as referrals to services to prevent future…
$275,922 spent23% of program spendingPrevention & Awareness: Within Prevention and Awareness, Unbound Now prevents trafficking through educating students on safe relationships, increases identification of survivors through targeted outreach, and equips direct service providers with an ability to provide referrals and trauma-informed care to survivors. Through a partnership with Fort Worth ISD funded by the Department of Health and Human Services, Unbound Now is on track to train thousands of students, teachers, and counselors on how to prevent and respond to human trafficking. As a result of our efforts, Fort Worth ISD is one of the only school districts in the country with a trauma-informed, survivor-centered plan for how to respond to trafficking situations in the student population. Last calendar year, Unbound North Texas trained 3,601 students, as well as hundreds of professionals and community members. As a community, it is essential that we experience a cultural shift that emphasizes empathy towards survivors and awareness of our shared responsibility for resolving the issue. Unbound Now has planned events every quarter that address both labor and trafficking and sex trafficking. Our outreach spans from…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $915k to $123k (−87%).
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 50% · 2020 39% · 2021 41% · 2022 51% · 2023 77% · 2024 82%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $4k → $163k.
10 of 33 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 30% 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 UnBound North Texas’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 33 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
UnBound North Texas has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 11% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 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 UnBound North Texas.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 63% · 2020 16% · 2021 22% · 2022 19% · 2023 24% — 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
47% of UnBound North Texas'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
79% of UnBound North Texas's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $289k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
