Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $463,986 spent. Using donated and raised funds, IAHTI was able to provide in-person and remote analytical support to agencies conducting human trafficking investigations and operations across North America. See Schedule O. We were able to send our team to events in Florida, Maryland, Arizona, Tennessee, Georgia, Waterloo, ON, and Halifax, NS. Our team either provided analytical support, presented to attendees, or networked with agencies from across North America. We opened the Human Trafficking Technology and Intelligence Center which is the first of its kind in the world. The center, although in the initial stages, will be comprised of three different sections. The first section is analytical support, the second is a database, and the third is the integration of technology, both new and existing. We have been fortunate to work with AWS (Amazon) and several other technology companies. We also provided free membership and a forum for our members across North America. The forum allows investigators to network and provide services for victims in a timely manner.
