Survivor Ventures announces a $800,000 grant award to support human trafficking survivors in Norfolk, Virginia

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 5, 2023

 

Survivor Ventures is honored to announce that we have been awarded funding under the OVC FY 2023 Services for Victims of Human Trafficking grant. This grant, part of a nationwide initiative supporting 35 organizations with a total of $29.3 million in funding, will enable us to expand our proven Survivors to Entrepreneurs (S2E) program to serve more survivors across the Hampton Roads Metropolitan Statistical Area and the Greater Virginia Peninsula. Federal Grants

The S2E program is a comprehensive 24-month initiative that provides survivors of human trafficking with wage subsidies, job coaching, entrepreneurial mentorship, and specialized skills training, including business plan development and the opportunity to incorporate their own businesses. In its second phase, the program connects participants with additional small business resources to fund and grow their enterprises. With this expansion, we aim to serve a minimum of 105 trafficking survivors, lowering barriers to gainful employment and self-employment through trauma-informed, culturally competent, and survivor-centered services.

“We are deeply grateful for our continued partnership with the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) and their unwavering support of our mission. Their recognition of the value of our program empowers us to continue providing transformative opportunities for survivors to rebuild their lives with dignity and independence.” Tiffany McGee, Founder.

To date, Survivor Ventures has:

 

  • Supported over 140 human trafficking victims and their dependent children 

  • Provided 9 months of wage assistance (on average) for survivors

  • Partnered with 90+ small businesses for trauma informed worksites
