Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Through prevention, survivor care, and community transformation programs - For the Silent works to end sex trafficking and exploitation by empowering the voices of vulnerable and exploited youth.

  • FTS's Survivor Care program directly assists sex trafficking survivors by providing legal advocacy, emotional support, emergency and long-term housing coordination, and service referrals. Our main goal with Survivor Care is the relationship itself which has been found to help keep clients engaged with other service providers in the community, support clients to participate or remain accessible for law enforcement investigations, and most importantly, help clients stay safe and work toward recovery. Survivor care and advocacy was provided to 58 trafficking victims and 2 traffickers were prosecuted.

    Expenses $309,214

  • I Have A Voice is an outreach and prevention program reaching teen girls most vulnerable to commercial sexual exploitation. The program reaches high risk youth in juvenile detention centers, child advocacy centers, schools, and low-income housing with powerful prevention education and long term mentorship. IHAV identifies and addresses the vulnerabilities which put youth at-risk to trafficker recruitment and helps champion their voices throughout their adolescence. The IHAV program had 210 group graduates. In addition, 1,996 teens received awareness education, 97 juvenile detention youth were reached, and there were 19 Thrive summer internship participants.

  • The Community Transformation program strives to change culture's mindsets by providing professional in depth training to law enforcement, medical professionals, group home staff, pregnancy resource centers, school staff, child advocacy centers, and other social service providers. The program also includes a coordinated community response team made up of law enforcement, medical, mental health, child welfare services, juvenile justice services and other organizations who work together to grow the community's capacity to serve victims of sex trafficking. The Community Transformation program provided training to 512 community members and 90 service providers.

  • FTSs Advocacy Program directly assists high risk youth and victims of commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking by advocating for their voice through case management, housing coordination, and empowerment programs. Our main goal is the relationship itself which has been found to help keep clients engaged with other service providers in the community, support clients to participate or remain accessible for law enforcement investigations, and, most importantly, help clients stay safe and work toward recovering their voice.

  • FTS has a few smaller programs that support their mission to end sex trafficking and exploitation by empowering the voices of vulnerable and exploited youth.

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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

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.

Grants received

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
