Impact and Financials
Our Prevention Program and our Survivor Support initiatives measure impact differently.
Prevention Program Impact
A key aspect of Everstrong’s theory of change is that media-fed sensationalism and mystery surrounding sex trafficking creates a feeling of helplessness among communities. This helplessness leads to inaction. Inaction allows trafficking to thrive.
Our prevention programs turn that helplessness into action. By demystifying the root causes of trafficking and offering tangible, practical solutions, education empowers communities to respond with confidence and courage.
One of the most critical measures of our impact is access:
- Are our materials reaching the right people?
- Are they being used?
- Are they simple, relevant, and effective in real classrooms and communities?
Although the Prevention Portal is still in the first phase of a multi-year pilot, early results are promising. In Spring 2025, our pilot demonstrated both strong reach and ease of use—important indicators of future scalability.
These preliminary outcomes represent just the beginning. As the program matures, we will continue to expand and refine our measures of success, ensuring the Prevention Portal grows into a robust, national tool for change.

Grants for Survivors Impact
For our grants to create lasting change, they must be accessible, flexible, and consistent. Survivors’ needs are diverse and urgent, and our funding model is designed to meet them where they are.
We track utilization of our Grants to Survivors Program to ensure funds are not only available, but truly reaching those who need them most. Our priorities are simple yet profound:
- That survivors know this support exists.
- That they feel seen, valued, and cared for by their wider community.
By measuring utilization and total grants awarded, we gather meaningful data on how these resources strengthen the broader movement to uplift and stabilize those most impacted by violence. We also aggregate demographic data to ensure equity—so that those disproportionately affected by trafficking and exploitation are not left behind.
Behind every data point is a life given more stability, more dignity, and more possibility.
