Impact
Being transparent about the impact of our work is integral to the Freedom Fund’s mission. We measure what works, we learn from our results, and we share our knowledge. We publish updated data on every six months.
Impact report
Ten years after our inception, the Freedom Fund is now working on the ground in 16 countries with high burdens of modern slavery, and helping transform millions of lives. In that time, we have funded and partnered with over 225 frontline organisations who have directly impacted 1.65 million people. These frontline organisations are the building blocks of all sustainable change when it comes to modern slavery.
Additionally, the Freedom Fund and our partners have worked to redefine the discourse around slavery over the last decade. There has been a seismic shift in that time from a predominant focus on raids, rescues, and prosecutions, to an understanding of the centrality of resilient communities with the power to sustain their own liberation. There has also been normative change in the way anti-slavery organisations use data and research to understand their impact and contribution to change on the ground.
We look forward to delivering even greater change over the next ten years.

Research approach
Our approach to data collection and evidence sharing is deeply guided by the priorities of frontline organisations and grassroots leaders. We partner with leading researchers and anti-slavery experts to examine and evaluate our work, while making sure that results remain relevant, timely and useful for local communities who are best positioned to translate evidence into action. These collaborations allow us to learn quickly, tailor our work effectively, and help direct resources to where they can make the biggest difference.
