DeliverFund

What DeliverFund does

DeliverFund is a US nonprofit that gathers intelligence on human traffickers and hands it to law enforcement. It was founded in 2014 by Nic McKinley, a former Air Force pararescueman and CIA officer, and its team includes people with backgrounds in intelligence, the military, police work and technology. It is registered in Whitefish, Montana, and works with law enforcement agencies around the United States.

The organization describes its method as applying the tactics used to track terrorists to trafficking. Its analysts use technology to identify likely trafficking in illicit online ads, maintain what it calls an analyst-curated database of potential trafficking activity, and turn that information into intelligence reports for police. It also offers agencies software tools — P.A.T.H., RedLight Data and a Human Trafficking Watchlist — along with training, and it has released a public app, HT Safeguard, aimed at prevention. Arrests and victim recoveries are carried out by the agencies it supports.

DeliverFund reports producing more than 3,000 intelligence reports and training more than 1,000 law enforcement personnel. It holds a Four-Star rating from Charity Navigator. It is a relatively small organization, with about $2.3 million in revenue in its most recent IRS filing.
