IRVING,
Texas, Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Jensen
Project, a nonprofit fueling strategic partnerships in the fight
against sexual violence, is thrilled to announce its
2024 GrantTank recipients. These nineteen carefully vetted and
selected nonprofits have collectively been granted this significant
funding toward their initiatives to support survivors of
trafficking and exploitation. Granting more than $6 Million for this application cycle makes this
The Jensen Project's largest GrantTank cycle to date.
Unlike typical grants, GrantTank serves as both a funding
source and a think-tank for passionate anti-violence advocates.
Janet Jensen, the founder of The
Jensen Project, initiated GrantTank to address the isolation and
lack of collaboration among nonprofits in the movement. Her vision
was to create an environment that encourages partnership and
collective impact.
GrantTank's funding areas are selected each year based on the
greatest needs of the sector. This year, GrantTank requested
proposals from not only Housing and Economic Empowerment, but also
Technology and Policy. This is the first year our Programs Team
focused on four funding categories in the anti–sex trafficking
movement. After completing the thorough review process, our 2024
GrantTank recipients were selected.

sex trafficking survivors.
In addition to funding, The Jensen Project provides GrantTank
recipients with invaluable third-party resources, including
organizational mentorship, guidance, and promotion to support their
holistic development. GrantTank recipients represent a diverse
array of states, and all organizations are dedicated to serving
survivors of any race, nationality, and faith from across the
nation.
In September 2024, The Jensen
Project will host its fourth annual GrantTank Cohort in
Irving, Texas. This gathering will
bring together all current GrantTank recipients to build
camaraderie, share field learnings, and collaboratively address
challenges.
