We are thrilled to share the exciting news with you that Allies has been awarded a generous grant from the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation (PJMF)! This landmark grant signifies the importance of data-driven solutions to human trafficking and highlights our innovative work with Lighthouse.
Recognizing the transformative potential of data and technology, PJMF invests in organizations operating at the intersection of artificial intelligence and data science with a focus on advancing social good.
Allies and PJMF share an optimistic vision for a world where technology advances equity and justice — specifically, a future where every community has the data they need to combat and prevent human trafficking. We are privileged to partner with the PJMF team who wants to build that world together.
In the words of PJMF President Vilas Dhar, "As we learned more about your work in our diligence process, our team…[was] particularly impressed by the Allies Against Slavery cross-sectoral data partnership model, as well as the significant interest in platform expansion across government and survivor-centric agencies. We look forward to following the ongoing expansion of your work as it extends across the US."
Human trafficking has long been an invisible crime, but it doesn't have to be. With the support of partners like PJMF, we are shining a spotlight on this issue, making the invisible visible, and funding to advance the development and expansion of Lighthouse at scale.
We invite you to follow along and help accelerate solutions to human trafficking. Your support will amplify the impact of PJMF's grant and contribute to the larger movement against this injustice.
Together, we can turn the power of data and technology into real-world solutions, bringing us one step closer to a world free from exploitation. Thank you for being a vital part of our mission.
