Generous matching gift sponsors donate $30,000 to double all funds raised from donors on the biggest giving day of the year.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO, UNITED STATES, November 28, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- This Giving Tuesday, November 29, The Exodus Road is raising funds to support human trafficking cyber investigations in the United States. Thanks to generous sponsors, they’re doubling every dollar from donors, up to $30,000.

The campaign’s premiere matching sponsors include HomeSource Pro, 5DayDeal, Shannon Squires Photography, and Todd Zeller – Coldwell Banker. These businesses and individuals are ensuring that all donations to The Exodus Road made before midnight the night of November 29 will go twice as far. As one of the premiere sponsors, Griffin Stewart of 5DayDeal, states: “5DayDeal is excited to partner with The Exodus Road to fight modern-day slavery and empower not only rescue but also healing and restoration for victims and their families.”

This year’s campaign focus on cyber investigations coincides with The Exodus Road’s launch of a new area of operation. In the past 6 months, The Exodus Road’s cyber analytics team has begun working out of The Exodus Road’s Colorado Springs office. With decades of professional cyber intelligence experience, this team of highly skilled volunteer investigators is uniquely equipped to assemble digital evidence of potential trafficking. The team does this by combing social media and dating sites, identifying potential traffickers and those they exploit, and tracing those digital threads until they have actionable evidence for law enforcement.

“Our cyber analysts all come from an intelligence background. They understand and train on identity management to minimize the security threats our teams face, ” says Andrew Hoskins, Vice President of International Programs with The Exodus Road. “Now they are also using that knowledge to support law enforcement in identifying potential victims and criminals.”

Donations given to The Exodus Road this Giving Tuesday will support the organization’s operations as they support these cyber investigations. As Todd Zeller from Colorado Banker says, “I'm passionate about partnering with The Exodus Road because they are laser-focused on rescuing girls, boys, women, and men throughout the world from human trafficking. As a regular donor, I trust that my gifts are used to successfully rescue more every year. I would encourage anyone to donate if they want to see their money make a life-changing difference.” Because of the match made possible by Zeller and the other sponsors, the Colorado-based nonprofit is able to ensure that donations go as far as possible to combat the crime of human trafficking right here in the United States and abroad.

Giving Tuesday is notably the most charitable stand-alone giving day of the year. Last year, a record-breaking $2.7B was raised to support the work of nonprofits globally. Many predict that in 2022, that number could increase by 18% or more.
