MinistryWatch’s mid-October list, curated from the MinistryWatch 1000 database, ranks all anti-trafficking groups by revenue. This is the second year MinistryWatch has published the list, with data current as of Oct. 14, 2026.
MinistryWatch added the anti-trafficking category to its database last year. It now includes 24 ministries, up from 19 last year. The MinistryWatch database as a whole continues to grow and now includes more than 1,800 ministries.
In June 2025, MinistryWatch published a Guide to Giving to Anti-Trafficking Organizations.
The 24 ministries in the anti-trafficking category this year have combined annual revenue of about $289 million. Below are a few key takeaways:
- International Justice Mission is by far the largest ministry in the group, with revenue of nearly $130 million, up from $112 million in 2025. That’s more than three times the revenue of the next-largest organization, Our Rescue — formerly Operation Underground Railroad — which has total revenue of about $35 million.
- The third-largest ministry on the list is Wellspring Living, a newcomer this year, with annual revenue exceeding $16 million.
- The list also includes a column showing the amount of government grant money each ministry received, based on figures from its Form 990. Unbound Now was again the largest recipient of government grants — $6.58 million, up from $4.4 million last year — accounting for more than half of its $10.8 million in total annual revenue.
- Selah Freedom also received a large share of its revenue from government grants: $2 million of its $3.7 million in annual revenue.
- Other newcomers to the list include Project Rescue Foundation, Scarlet Hope, New Horizons House, and Reclaiming Hope.
- Two ministries — Atlas Free and Institute for Survivor Care — have Donor Confidence Scores of 100, the highest score achievable.
- Among the largest ministries by revenue, Unbound Now has the highest Donor Confidence Score, 95.
