The More Funding the More Freedom for Kids in Bondage, with Nate Lewis

Join us for an eye-opening episode of Finding Certainty about human trafficking and the various efforts being made to help combat it. In this episode, Patrick sits down with Nate Lewis, the Development and Fundraising Director of the nonprofit organization, Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.), as part of his ongoing month-long series on the topic. Nate sheds light on the complexities and challenges faced by O.U.R. in their relentless pursuit to rescue victims of human trafficking, especially children, and help bring their perpetrators to justice. Tune in as they discuss: 1. Fundraising: Learn about the unique challenges non-profit organizations like O.U.R. encounter when raising funds to support their vital missions. Nate shares his insights into navigating the world of philanthropy and the strategies O.U.R. employs to secure the resources needed to help combat human trafficking more effectively. This is an important topic from which anyone with ties to fundraising or a worthwhile nonprofit in need can benefit. 2. Reciprocity: Explore the concept of reciprocity in the context of O.U.R.'s work and fundraising in general. Discover how nonprofit organizations can foster a sense of unity and collaboration among their supporters, volunteers, and survivors, create reciprocally beneficial programs, and “ripple effects,” as Patrick calls them and how, together, this is creating a powerful force against human trafficking. 3. Operation Underground Railroad: Get an inside look at O.U.R.'s operations, their global reach, and the incredible impact they've had in rescuing victims and dismantling trafficking networks. Understand the challenges they face and the resilience required to persevere. 4. Tim Ballard: Nate Lewis provides further insights into the recent transition of O.U.R.'s founder, Tim Ballard, on to new endeavors to further expand the work against trafficking around the world, and the organization's continued commitment to their mission despite leadership rearrangement. 5. Sound of Freedom: Learn about the film Sound of Freedom, which has brought attention to O.U.R.'s work but did not directly benefit the organization. Discover the complexities of media portrayals and the real-world impact on nonprofits. 6. Additional: Gain insights into a few new and innovative approaches to fundraising and how you can contribute to O.U.R. if you’d like to not to mention help raise more funds for any nonprofits (churches, schools, foundations, etc.) that you care about.
