Double Your Impact!

A generous challenge grant from the Williams Family Foundation of Georgia, Inc. will double every dollar you give—but only if we raise the full amount. That means every dollar you give before January 1st will go twice as far to support our Child Sex Trafficking Analytical Team.

Right now, our Child Sex Trafficking Analytical Team is racing against time to help law enforcement rescue children from unimaginable danger. Reports have surged 925% since the start of 2025.

Your gift today could be the moment everything changes for a child.

About Our Mission

At NCMEC, our teams work around the clock—responding to urgent reports, supporting families in crisis, and helping bring children home safely.
