CFT’s responsive grants prioritize nonprofits working on the frontlines to deliver crisis response, shelter, and survivor stabilization, supplemented by nonprofit partners addressing prevention, legal services, and system coordination. These investments support a coordinated continuum of care across North Texas for individuals at risk of or impacted by human trafficking, ensuring both immediate response capacity during the event and sustained recovery support in the months that follow.
The funded organizations collectively serve a wide range of populations impacted by human trafficking, including adult women, men, youth, and children and work within communities across Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, and Rockwall counties, with many programs operating regionally across North Texas and several providing statewide or national support with a strong DFW presence.
“The growing DFW region is a significant area of concern for trafficking in Texas. There is already an alarming amount of trafficking happening in North Texas that often goes largely unseen by the public. These nonprofit grantees work tirelessly year-round to combat trafficking, so we are proactively providing support so they can scale as needed to support our community and increase safety while our region welcomes visitors from across the U.S. and around the world,” said Robert Kent, Chief Philanthropy Officer at Communities Foundation of Texas.
These trusted nonprofit grantees provide a multitude of services to address human trafficking, including prevention, crisis response, survivor advocacy, emergency shelter and housing, legal and case management services, long-term recovery and stabilization support, workforce development, nonprofit capacity-building, and research-informed education and outreach.
Many also focus on survivor identification and outreach, public awareness and prevention campaigns, and survivor-informed research aimed at prevention and risk reduction.
