Mission and programs · 2025

• EMBRACING FREEDOM MINISTRY IS A FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATION IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS FOUNDED IN 2010 TO RESPOND TO THE HEARTBREAKING EPIDEMIC OF CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING. EMBRACING FREEDOM MINISTRY IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES ADVOCACY TO CHILDREN WHO ARE RECOVERED FROM SEX TRAFFICKING SITUATIONS, WHO ARE FLAGGED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT OR OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AS POSSIBLE TRAFFICKING VICTIMS, OR WHO ARE AT A HIGH RISK OF BECOMING TRAFFICKED. EMBRACING FREEDOM PROVIDES NUMEROUS SERVICES TO VICTIMS AND TO LOCAL AGENCIES. INTERVENTIONS ALLOW FAMILIES TO SAFELY AND GENTLY ADDRESS A CHILD WHO IS SUSPECTED OF BEING A VICTUM OF TRAFFICKING. EMBRACING FREEDOM CHILD ADVOCATES FUNCTION AS FACILITATORS AND MEDIATORS BETWEEN THE FAMILY AND THE CHILD, AS WELL AS EDUCATING THE CHILD ABOUT WHAT CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING LOOKS LIKE. FREQUENTLY, THESE CHILDREN DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THEM IS TRAFFICKING, SO THIS INFORMATION IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN HELPING THE CHILD SELF-IDENTIFY AS A VICTUM, THEREBY MAKING THEM MORE AMENABLE TO ACCEPTING ASSISTANCE. EMBRACING FREEDOM ADVOCATES ALSO MENTOR CHILD VICTIMS AS A PART OF ADVOCACY, CLOSELY FOLLOWING THE CHILD'S JOURNEY FROM BEGINNING TO END. ADVOCATES ATTEND COURT HEARINGS, ARRANGE MEETINGS WITH HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS AND OTHER SERVICES, COMMUNICATE WITH THE FAMILY AND CHILD REGULARLY TO ENSURE PROGRESS AND HEALING, ARRANGE FUN ACTIVITIES FOR THE CHILD, AND ARE AVAILABLE TO ADDRESS ANY ISSUE THAT COMES UP ALONG THE WAY. EMBRACING FREEDOM ALSO WORKS TO COORDINATE LOCAL SERVICE PROVIDERS, CREATING CHANNELS OF COMMUNICATION THAT ALLOW FOR QUICK AND DECISIVE ACTIONS WHEN A TRAFFICKED CHILD IS IDENTIFIED. THESE CHANNELS AID IN RESCUE EFFORTS AND IN ATTAINING APPROPRIATE SERVICES FOR CHILD VICTIMS.

  Expenses $609,920 · Revenue $899,731

• EMBRACING FREEDOM ALSO PROVIDES AN EXTENSIVE PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN. ADVOCATES AND VOLUNTEERS HAVE PROVIDED TRAINING AT A NUMBER OF LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, FIRE STATIONS, HOSPITALS, SOCIAL SERVICE CENTERS, CHURCHES, SCHOOLS, AND STATE REPRESENTATIVE STAFF. THESE TRAININGS AND PUBLIC APPEARANCES PROVIDE ATTENDEES WITH INFORMATION ON SEX TRAFFICKING, WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, HOW TO IDENTIFY IT, HOW TO RESPOND, AND PREVENTION STRATEGIES. EACH APPEARANCE IS TAILORED TO THE NEEDS OF ATTENDEES.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
