We provide in-depth presentations that will give you insights on how predators operate, how to keep children safe online, and how you can stay educated on any emerging technological trends. In 2024, The Demand Project provided prevention education to 1,326 youth and 2,574 adults through school presentations, community trainings, conferences, and online webinars. To strengthen these efforts, the TDP team developed, published, and distributed Empower presentation workbooks to students participating in youth prevention programs, giving them practical tools to recognize and resist exploitation. The combined efforts reached a total of 3,900 individuals, equipping both youth and adults with the knowledge and resources needed to prevent human trafficking and online exploitation before it occurs. 112560 0 0 Protection and Recovery - The Demand Project's Protection department fights the demand side of trafficking by pursuing civil litigation, and supports survivors by seeking restorative justice and providing access to quality legal services. TDP also facilitates Recovery services for survivors by advocating in crisis situations in collaboration with law enforcement. In 2024, The Demand Project advanced its mission through protection and recovery initiatives that directly impacted survivors and strengthened systemic responses to exploitation. TDP provided legal advocacy support to residential and non-residential clients navigating the justice system for charges stemming from their exploitation, and our headquarters served as a court-ordered safe place for the reunification of a former resident and her child for parental visits. At the policy level, TDP authored and advanced new child sexual abuse material (CSAM) legislation signed into law in 2024, advised Representative Provenzano on proposed 2025 legislation, and continued collaborating with lawmakers to combat human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. On the recovery side, TDP responded to 24 crisis advocacy cases involving minors and 52 crisis calls for placement and resource referrals, coordinating with the Oklahoma Department of Human Services, Office of Juvenile Affairs, and Child Protection Services to connect survivors to drug rehabilitation programs, mental health services, problematic sexual behavior treatment, and long-term residential care. The Victim Advocate Support Team (VAST) also identified homelessness as a significant risk factor for exploitation, conducting multiple outreach operations in areas with vulnerable families; while no children were identified in danger during these missions, the efforts expanded community trust and reinforced prevention networks. 529417 0 0 Restoration - TDP's Journey to Freedom restoration program is a survivor-centered, community driven and trauma informed model that focuses on restoring the whole person. The program offers a tailored team, around each survivor, consisting of but not limited to a therapist, mentor, resource link and life skill coaches to address each layer of trauma. The Journey to Freedom program also offers a family support team when reintegration is possible. In 2024, The Demand Project supported healing and restoration for survivors through its residential and non-residential programs. Twelve new clients joined the Journey to Freedom non-residential program, receiving tailored support to transition out of trafficking and toward stable, independent futures. Across all programs, staff and volunteers invested 215 hours of mentorship and 45 hours of case management, guiding clients in life skills, career readiness, and personal growth. Residents received 259 hours of therapy-including individual, group, family, and equine therapy-helping them process trauma and build resilience. Education remained central, with one resident graduating high school, all residents meeting their grade goals, one resident earning a driver's license, and two others passing their permit test, marking important steps toward independence. Survivors also participated in 14 field trips that fostered experiential learning, growth, and self-confidence. These services reduced vulnerability to exploitation and empowered survivors to pursue safe, self-sufficient futures." 0 0 0 721846 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 18 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 OK X X Kristin Weis 5395250191 PO Box 1352 Jenks OK 74037 Kristin Weis Co-Founder, President and CEO 50.00 0 X X 55240 0 0 Jason Weis Co-Founder, Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Todd Barker Treasurer 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Cory Box Vice President 2 0 X X 0 0 0 David Miller Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 James Roberts Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Terree Hooper Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 55240 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 197880 0 0 537156 54375 735036 0 0 0 0 0 382940 197880 146656 236284 0 236284 0 971320 0 0 236284 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 55240 38668 11048 5524 0 0 0 0 402032 250280 63348 88404 0 0 0 0 2217 1401 361 455 34550 21870 5665 7015 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 34474 0 34474 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 38313 0 0 38313 156825 125460 0 31365 11881 3137 5313 3431 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 40460 24975 6047 9438 881 881 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 73394 63969 9425 0 1217 769 198 250 Restoration Program Expenses 165216 165216 0 0 Other Program Expenses 9722 9722 0 0 General and Other Expenses 47164 15498 1986 29680 1073586 721846 137865 213875 147455 315764 296279 317124 0 0 27682 6000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4186 4186 956469 300769 725986 655700 83459 49342 1285047 1348116 16749 31535 0 0 15827 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 84663 51316 117239 82851 X 1113138 1201423 54670 63842 1167808 1265265 1285047 1348116 -102266 15878 183845 0 0 0 X 1 X 1 X 1 0 X 697961 958052 369209 607296 735036 3367554 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 697961 958052 369209 607296 735036 3367554 525945 2841609 0 18 13 0 0 31 3367585 0 0.84381 0.73096 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 90000 90000 0 587513 155600 431913 0 0 0 0 0 30491 11409 19082 0 248465 133760 114705 655700 0 Operating Lease Liability 51316 51316 1320299 15878 186445 0 146656 348979 971320 0 0 0 971320 1222842 2600 0 0 146656 149256 1073586 0 0 0 1073586 Schedule D, Part XI, Line 2d Direct Expenses related to Fundraisers Schedule D, Part XII, Line 2d Direct expenses related to Fundraisers Raising Hope Gala 384032 139601 244431 0 0 0 0 0 75158 Golf Tournament 94416 19180 75236 0 0 0 0 0 26135 4 102372 39099 63273 0 0 0 0 0 45363 580820 197880 382940 0 0 0 0 0 146656 146656 236284 X Various Items for Residents 100 16978 Fair Market Value - Comparable purchase X Various Items for Fundraisers 18 37397 Fair Market Value -Comparable purchases 0 0 1 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Kristin Weis, Co-Founder, President and CEO was married to Jason Weis, Co-Founder, Director Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A draft of the 990 Form is reviewed by the CEO and Finance Committee before submission.
