The Freedom Fund

Who we are

The Freedom Fund is a leader in the global fight against modern slavery. It:

• generates private funding by demonstrating how effective interventions can protect those at risk of being enslaved and free those in slavery.
• invests in those countries and sectors with the greatest incidence of slavery.
• analyses which interventions work best, and shares that knowledge.
• brings together a community of activists committed to ending slavery and empowered by the knowledge of how best to do so.

The Freedom Fund has programs in northern India, southern India, Ethiopia, Thailand, south-eastern Nepal and central Nepal. Established nearly 5 years ago, and with Group income of approximately $15m, the Freedom Fund currently supports and funds over 80 organisations in these regions, the vast majority of which are frontline, community-based NGOs. It also works to influence global policy by commissioning and sharing research and amplifying the voices of its partners.

The Freedom Fund (www.freedomfund.org) is a global fund with the sole aim of helping end modern slavery.

We are a catalyst in the global effort to end modern slavery, working in the countries and sectors where it is most prevalent. We invest in and partner with organisations and communities on the frontlines of ending exploitation. By partnering with those at risk of modern slavery as well as visionary investors, governments, and anti-slavery organisations, we bring together the knowledge, the capital and the will needed to dismantle the systems that allow slavery to exist and thrive.

Through our investments and support, we aim to shift power, so that frontline organisations and communities can shape and drive the change required to bring modern slavery to an end.

In its first ten years, the Freedom Fund has supported over 200 organisations in Bangladesh, Brazil, Ethiopia, Indonesia, India, Kenya, Lebanon, Liberia, Myanmar, Nepal, Nigeria and Thailand.
