Mission

Stories Foundation exists to empower communities to end the cycle of human trafficking by starting and supporting social enterprises that raise awareness, offer opportunities for economic independence, and fund the fight against human trafficking.

Programs

2 programs

The Love, Sophia Project is Stories Foundation's outreach and prevention program that covers emotional vulnerabilities in 14-24 year olds by providing education about healthy relationships and safe community. All of what we do is geared towards preventing human trafficking. We also served 5 survivors in 2024 through wrap around services.

Expenses: $777

Storyteller Cafe - In December of 2024, we acquired a likeminded coffee shop nonprofit business and began the process of turning it into Storyteller Cafe, a giveback cafe where we will sell food products and boutique items as well as host awareness events with the goal of spreading awareness about human trafficking, empowering people to make a difference through purposeful purchasing as a first step, and create opportunities for survivors and those vulnerable through jobs and housing. After many years of fundraising for this project, we are excited that it has finally come to fruition.
