Grants

Current as of: September 28, 2020

Much of the work that we do to forge pathways to freedom for victims and those at risk of human trafficking is with the help of our grantees. We coordinate and oversee the management of anti-trafficking grant programming on behalf of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
