The Importance of GrantTank
GrantTank represents more than just financial assistance; it symbolizes a collaborative movement aimed at significant systemic shifts in the anti-trafficking sector. Founder Janet Jensen initiated this program to counteract the prevalent issues of isolation and lack of cooperation within nonprofits. It is through this nurturing environment that we aim to build partnerships that yield superior collective impact.
Adapting to Challenges
Each year, we assess the pressing needs within the anti-sex trafficking movement and align our funding strategies accordingly. The Jensen Project has awarded over $11 million in total, with an estimated $2.3 million earmarked specifically for 2025 to support housing stability, economic mobility, and tech innovations in the sector.
Our Growing Network of Change
Today, we proudly stand with 21 partners across 15 states, each actively contributing to the national network dedicated to combating exploitation. Together, we offer expertise, hope, and dignity to the survivors of these heinous crimes.
