Why Partner with The Unlost?
We operate lean — no expensive offices, no red tape. Your investment funds real field operations: agent deployment, forensic tools, travel, secure systems, and mission-critical software.
When you join our partner network, you’re not just giving — you’re underwriting operations that bring advanced investigative capacity into the fight against human exploitation and disappearances.
How to Engage (Frictionless Options)
1. Corporate / CSR Partnership
- Payroll giving & employee matching — integrate giving at work, with minimal hassle
- Cause marketing & point-of-sale rounding — transform daily transactions into social impact
- Grant sponsorships — underwrite entire missions or critical toolkits
We provide all onboarding materials, impact reporting, and visual content — you simply plug into your existing giving systems.
2. Wealth Advisors & DAF / QCD Donors
- Recommend The Unlost via donor-advised fund (DAF) grants
- Use Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from IRAs for tax-efficient giving
We supply one-page briefs, templates, and guidance to simplify your clients’ charitable workflows.
3. “Sponsor a Case” Investment
- Choose a packaged outcome — e.g. “$5,000 funds field surveillance for 72 hours” — and receive periodic progress updates, giving your stakeholders transparency into impact.
WE STRIVE FOR EXCELLENT STEWARDSHIP
We aim to deploy at least 85% of your donations each quarter directly into field operations, minimizing administrative overhead. Funds carry over to expand capacity, take urgent cases, and keep operations flexible.
Your capital deserves action, not bureaucracy

COMMUNITY IMPACT
FOCUS ON THE GOAL
The Unlost operates lean by design—maximizing impact while minimizing overhead. Your donations directly support the fight against human trafficking and help a family bring home their child.
Instead of maintaining a costly brick-and-mortar office, we rely on virtual tools to coordinate with our agents, board, and sponsors. This allows us to focus resources where they matter most—on missions in the field.
Each operation incurs real-world costs: gas, hotels, meals, tolls, and fair wages for the agents risking their lives to recover the missing. Monthly expenses also include essential admin costs such as secure server hosting, accounting software, and field tracking systems.
Every dollar you give moves someone closer to home.
