The Avery Center

WHERE ARE WE HEADED? (END OF 2023)
OUR VISION
Avery is recognized as a leader in the anti-trafficking industry. Our work and research is widely published internationally.
We have received an NIJ grant, enabling our research alongside thousands of people.
We see a full time staff assigned to "Taking Flight" with 8 survivors employed, 4 days per week.
We have refined our continuum of services, such that we have multiple entry points for survivors to effectively walk alongside, meeting needs.
We see >50% funding coming from internal program. We see a transition in our leadership to focus on "chief visionary" and research activities.
We have a robust, ongoing individual donor base; target is annual gifts that contribute TBD % revenue. We see a staff of at least 5 staff members.
We see corporate partnerships developing in the beginning stages. We will own the house.
We have established processes, policies, procedures for all operations, with clear roles and responsibilities. We have a full working Board, with 7 seats filled.
We have a process to capture Megan's vision and ideas, to harness, decide and bring them to life. Avery is training how to do research in this arena.
We see an improvement with national law enforcement. We have an organized approach to policy. We are engaging, training, and appreciating 150 active volunteers.
Our volunteers are fulfilled, our donors see results, and our survivors are at the center of all we do.
