Created Women, INC

What Created Women, INC does

Created Women, INC is a Tampa, Florida-based nonprofit founded in 2016 that operates a continuum of care for women affected by sex trafficking and exploitation. The organization was founded after its leaders worked with Samaritana, a ministry in Manila, Philippines, and identified a gap in faith-based services for exploited women in the Tampa Bay area. Its core offering is a Residential Program comprising four homes across three counties, providing 31 of the 97 safe beds available statewide — approximately 32% of Florida's safe-bed inventory for trafficking survivors.

The organization's service portfolio includes the Residential Program, the Harbor Residential Program providing evening and weekend trauma-informed supervision, a Drop-In Center at 3102 N Nebraska Ave offering clothing, hygiene products, and community, weekly street outreach to drug treatment facilities, strip clubs, and massage parlors, advocacy and life skills training, and partnerships with organizations including Westcare, Operation Par, and GED+. Its core methodology combines trauma-informed care with a Christian ministry framework centered on identity restoration ("a name"), community belonging ("a place"), and advocacy ("a voice"). The organization employs 12 staff members, supplements its paid workforce with extensive volunteer engagement across mentorship, driving, drop-in center support, meal sponsorship, and outreach teams, and is State Certified by the Florida Department of Children and Families.

Created Women generates no revenue from service beneficiaries; funding comes entirely from individual donations via a Kindful donation portal, corporate sponsorships, church partnerships, in-kind contributions through an Amazon Wishlist, and an annual benefit event. In 2025, the organization reported 68 women housed in the Residential Program with 5,544 nights of shelter, 390 women served through the Drop-In Center with 5,173 visits, and a 100% non-recidivism rate among program graduates. The October 2026 annual benefit is targeting $500,000 in fundraising supported by 40 event hosts.
