4833 Front St. #240
Castle Rock, CO 80104
Why ‘Set Them Free’ and how often should I donate?
Anyone can give. You don't have to be a CEO, millionaire, or a Hollywood star to make an impact on the issue of human trafficking. But having said that, we don't mind receiving donations from Donald Trump or Angelina Jolie.
You can certainly just make a one-time donation but we are the most successful when people choose to renew their one-time donations each month. Make it fun! Donate each year on a special day…a day that is meaningful to you. Or donate in honor of a loved one.
What does your money go to?
We help make your donation go further. You write us a check for $100; we’re going to multiply that into $150, $200, $500, maybe even $1000, for example, so that your donation can rescue more victims of the sex trade. How? We hold annual fundraising events that can accomplish more in the way of abolition than what an average individual donor could do alone. Your donations make events like ‘Set Them Free Off-Road’ possible. Then, STF uses the money raised (minus expenses) to fund proven organizations that rescue and restore victims, and work to change local and national human trafficking legislation. Our priority is not to write blank checks but to carefully fund organizations, projects, and causes that change the future for the victim stuck in the sex for sale industry. We have strict assessment guidelines of any organization we partner with. Our due diligence is our way of honoring your hard earned dollar. We only sow into fertile soil that has a track record of bearing good fruit.
Why should I donate to STF rather than directly to the organizations you support?
It is very important to understand that STF is a grassroots organization. Our goal is not merely to raise money but to inspire people towards compassionate justice. We want to inspire people to care about the millions that are suffering from sex slavery. Our vision is to multiply your donation through Set Them Free events and in turn donate to worthy organizations more than you could have yourself. While we cannot guarantee multiplication, it is our sincere and trustworthy aim. Your donations are forwarded to these organizations, causes, and projects but you are more than welcome to give directly to any of the organizations we highlight through this website. We'll even give you their address. We simply want to invite people to engage the cause to end human trafficking, either through STF or through our partner organizations.
How can people be certain that 100% of the money goes to fighting human trafficking?
STF has a several fold policy in who and how we partner with organizations. In addition to a thorough screening process, we attempt to have a hands on approach with the funds that STF invests in organizations. After finding efficient and effective non-profit partners, we monitor how and in which city your donations are spent and can supply a report summary of the rescue operations that you fund through STF and our partners.
What is a matching donation? How do I know if my donation is eligible to be matched?
Matching donations happen when employers (usually) double a donation made to a non-profit organization by their employees - and thus, "match a donation." Many companies have matching programs, so check with your employer to see if your donation qualifies to be matched. Companies that have matching programs include: AMGEN, Alaska Airlines, Bank of America, Boeing, Boeing Employees Credit Union, The Gates Foundation, Getty Images, Microsoft, Starbucks, U.S. Bancorp. Unfortunately, we cannot initiate a corporate match; please contact your company to obtain the necessary forms and instructions for matching your donation.
