Mission

THE NET DISRUPTS SEX TRAFFICKING AND PROVIDES HOLISTIC SUPPORT TO SURVIVORS DURING THEIR RECOVERY.

990 for the year ended December 31, 2024

Program accomplishments

  • In 2024, The Net provided a total of 7,419 services to survivorsrepresenting a 117% increase from the 3,418 services provided in 2023. This significant growth reflects our continued commitment to supporting survivors through comprehensive programming, outreach, and community partnerships. Over the past year, we also distributed $45,975 in financial incentives to survivors, offering tangible assistance that promotes stability and empowerment as they work toward independence. Our MASE (Men Against Sexual Exploitation) program continued to engage men in the fight against sexual exploitation through education, advocacy, and accountability initiatives, helping to address demand and create lasting cultural change. Additionally, The Worthy Co., our social enterprise, expanded its retail operations by relocating to The Shops at Clearfork. This move positions us to increase revenue, create additional employment opportunities for survivors, and boost production capacity to sustain our growing programs and impact in the community.
