Become an investor
Since our founding in 2014, the Freedom Fund has pursued the single aim to mobilise the knowledge, capital and will needed to end slavery. That mission includes bringing more donors and resources into the anti-slavery space.
When our founders first looked at the anti-slavery sector, they found relatively low levels of fragmented investment, with insufficient funding levels compounded by the reluctance or inability of some donors to provide funding directly to grassroots programs.
Engaging investors from a variety of sectors is therefore an essential part of our work. We do this by offering consultation and advice – acting as an educator, connector and catalyst – to maximise what in our experience is a high degree of overlap between donor interests and the interests and needs of our local partners and beneficiaries.
Offering best-in-class fund management and donor servicing, the Freedom Fund delivers to our investors and to the wider sector a significant return on investment in the form of frontline impact.
