Join us for the Sexual Integrity Project's annual fundraiser, “Imagine the Impact”—a heartfelt, faith-filled evening celebrating God's redemptive power and the lives transformed through our ministry.
As a Christian nonprofit, we offer hope to men battling sex addiction and pornography, women healing from betrayal trauma, and families seeking restoration. Our recovery groups, including prison and post-prison recovery, provide ongoing support for lasting sobriety and reintegration. Betrayal recovery groups empower wives to process pain and rebuild trust, helping marriages thrive in Christ.
Through John University and other prison diversion programs, we intersect with the justice system, offering compassionate, trauma-informed paths to healing for sex buyers.
Expect updates on what the future holds for our organization, inspiring testimonies, community fellowship, and joyful giving—all to fuel our mission of reducing trafficking demand and displacing millions from exploitation.
Imagine the Impact your support can make... lives redeemed, families reunited, communities healed. - "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world, indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
- Margaret Mead

Carlos Rodriguez is the author of The Ugly Underneath, a firsthand account of the emotional toll of investigating crimes against children and the resilience it demands. A former crimes-against-children detective sergeant and FBI Task Force Officer, Carlos retired from the Washington State Patrol after 27 years of service. Throughout his career, he led teams focused on complex investigations, with his most meaningful work centered on protecting children from sexual abuse and commercial sexual exploitation. Carlos led WSP’s Missing and Exploited Children Task Force, where he developed proactive investigative operations targeting those who attempt to sexually exploit children, which have been nationally modeled and replicated in jurisdictions across the country. He is a nationally recognized subject matter expert who presents on human trafficking and child exploitation at national and international conferences, and volunteers with the International Association of Human Trafficking Investigators (IAHTI).
Carlos currently work at the San Diego Unified School District, having just launched their Human Trafficking Prevention Program and will be at the upcoming IAHTI conference in St. Pete, this coming September.

This year is another opportunity to give a gift at Easter to vulnerable women and children in our communities. You can help provide a special gift basket filled with treats and fun items, as well as a creative way to experience the meaning of Easter.
You can provide for anti- human trafficking ministry, along with care for group and foster home, in the Tampa Bay area with gifts that are sweet reminders that God's Word, and His promise, of freedom are for everyone.
You can help provide the gifts that will fill the baskets: plastic eggs, Easter grass, small wrapped or packaged candy, small toys and crafts. Items must be donated by Monday, March 23rd.

The week of Valentine's Day, women's ministries for human trafficking give roses and speak to the heart of women in the streets, clubs, and brothels. Others are brought to women in addiction recovery, who are homeless, or at-risk single moms. They will deliver these roses with a note of unconditional love. As the gift is exchanged, so are prayers and information on how to get help. These moments can become the seed of a relationship that blossoms into a restored life. Come join Declare No More Foundation at their annual Give A Rose event to make a positive, lasting impact in the lives of vulnerable women. You can sponsor roses or volunteer to help us prepare roses with a message of hope for ministry partners to distribute on Valentine’s Day.

The mission of I Rise is to break the cycle of poverty that survivors of human trafficking and other forms of violence/exploitation find themselves in upon exiting that violent situation.
