OVERVIEW

About Ally Global Foundation:

Ally Global Foundation is a 4-star charity. It is financially transparent, has reasonable overhead costs, and has funding reserves that can cover its program and grant costs for less than five months. However, it has a below-average results reporting grade.

Registered as a charity in 2009, Ally Global Foundation (AGF) works to help survivors of human trafficking and abuse. AGF funds local partners in Nepal and Cambodia. These partners provide safe homes, schooling, and reintegration programs for children rescued from human trafficking and abuse. In these countries and Canada, it works to educate the public about human trafficking, abuse, and sexual exploitation. AGF funds three main programs: Safe Homes, Reintegration, and Prevention. The charity does not provide a breakdown of costs by program. 

Safe Homes: AGF funds spaces for children rescued from human trafficking. It houses the children in safe homes where they receive trauma-informed care and specialized education. The charity reports that most children arrive at the homes at age 15 and stay for eight to ten years until they graduate job training or university. The safe homes provide specialized education for the children. In F2022, AGF funded 12 safe homes. During the year, there were 266 children in full-time care including 26 new individuals.

Reintegration: AGF’s funded partners in Nepal and Cambodia work to transition from the safe homes into society. In F2022, it funded 79 students in vocational training. It also funded 12 university scholarships.

Prevention: AGF works with its local partners in Nepal and Cambodia to do anti-trafficking presentations. In F2022, it reached 7,555 individuals in 19 villages with prevention presentations. In Canada, it has an Indigenous-led program, Makwa Dodem. This program works to help prevent sexual exploitation in Indigenous communities.

In F2022, Ally Global Foundation granted $878k to Charitable Impact Foundation, another public foundation. This accounted for 16% of total program and grant spending. AGF does not publicly disclose results from this grant.
