Child Freedom Coalition

What Child Freedom Coalition does

Child Freedom Coalition is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2019 and headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, that rescues children from trafficking in South Asia and provides long-term residential care, education, and vocational training. The organization operates three interconnected programs: FREEDOM (rescue operations freeing children from rock quarries, brothels, brick-making factories, abusive homes, and human sacrifice scenarios), FAMILY (long-term safe housing and trauma-informed care at The Sylom Children's Home in South Asia), and FUTURE (formal education plus vocational training in tailoring, clothing design, woodworking, construction, and small engine repair). The organization reports supporting 5,000+ child trafficking survivors and producing 2,000+ vocational training graduates, of whom the first cohort of 75 graduated in 2013 and launched a self-sustainability movement that has since generated over $3 million in graduate give-back.

The organization's revenue model is built on a distinctive '100% Model': public donations are directed entirely to field programs (rescue, care, education), while all operating expenses — staff salaries, flights, office rent, credit card fees, and graphic design — are covered by a separate cohort of private donors called The 100% Fund, who commit to multi-year support. The organization supplements fundraising through individual donor acquisition via an active blog, email newsletter, organic social media, and community events including the annual Child Freedom 5K race and partner-hosted competitions such as CrossFit OSC's 'The 100% Event.' Additional donor support is provided through a strategic partnership with Combs Capital Partners, which offers free financial advisory calls to help donors optimize giving strategies. The organization holds a 2025 Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid (GuideStar), a Four-Star Rating from Charity Navigator, and a federal 501(c)(3) tax-exempt designation (EIN 23-7219520). The internal team is small (1-10 employees), with field operations executed through The Sylom Children's Home in South Asia.
