💡 Tips for applicants
- Align your project narrative to specific priorities in the Trafficking in Persons Report and State Department strategies. Directly reference the challenges your organization will address.
- Demonstrate prosecutorial, victim protection, and prevention components. Grants succeed when they balance all three pillars of anti-trafficking work.
- Include partnerships with law enforcement, government agencies, and victim-service organizations. Strong coalitions increase competitiveness.
- Show measurable outcomes for trafficker prosecutions, victims served, and trafficking prevention activities. Use specific metrics and targets.
- For for-profit applicants, clearly separate allowable costs from profit. Ensure your budget demonstrates no unauthorized profit under federal acquisition regulations.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Projects fail when they address trafficking tangentially rather than making it the core focus. Organizations underestimate the importance of alignment with current State Department strategic priorities and the Trafficking in Persons Report. For-profit applicants often miscalculate allowable costs and inadvertently propose profit, triggering budget rejection.
