ARAMINTA FREEDOM INITIATIVE REDUCES THE THREAT OF CHILD TRAFFICKING - THE BUYING AND SELLING OF MINORS FOR THE PURPOSE OF SEXUAL EXPLOITATION - AND RESTORES THE MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT OF THOSE WHO HAVE SURVIVED THE TRAUMA OF MODERN ENSLAVEMENT. WE DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES AND LOCAL PREVENTION PLANS WITH CHURCHES, SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES, WHILE PROVIDING INDIVIDUALIZED, RESTORATIVE SERVICES TO VICTIMS OF CHILD TRAFFICKING USING TRAUMA-INFORMED, EVIDENCE-BASED MODELS. WE TAKE BOTH OUR NAME AND INSPIRATION FROM HARRIET TUBMAN, THE AMERICAN ABOLITIONIST AND POLITICAL ACTIVIST WHOSE BIRTH NAME WAS ARAMINTA. BORN ENSLAVED IN MARYLAND, TUBMAN NOT ONLY LED SCORES OF FAMILY MEMBERS AND OTHER SLAVES TO FREEDOM AS A CONDUCTOR OF THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, SHE HELPED THEM GAIN EDUCATION AND FIND WORK IN ORDER TO BUILD NEW AND BETTER LIVES FOR THEMSELVES.

Who the money went to

Grants this organization reported paying: Schedule I Part II of the Form 990, or the grants-paid list on the 990-PF. Open a year for every recipient. Recipients link to their own page when the grant names an EIN we have (990-PF grants list no EIN, so those link only on an exact, unique name and state). Grants to individuals are counted; their names are not shown.

Negative amounts are returned or refunded grants; they are listed last and left out of the totals of grants paid.

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Funders of this organization

30 grantors reported grants to this organization, $1,900,948 in all, tax years 2013 to 2025; the 25 largest shown (all 30). Exact: the grantor wrote this organization's EIN. Fuzzy: the grantor wrote only a name (foundations' 990-PF has no EIN field), matched to the same or a near-identical name in the same state; the name as filed is shown. From the latest return for each grantor and year, so amended returns aren't counted twice. CSV

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
