Seven Torches Foundation is a veteran-led, Cherokee Nation nonprofit dedicated to combating human trafficking through direct operational support, victim recovery, safe housing, and community education across Texas and beyond.
Seven Torches Foundation was founded by a U.S. Army veteran and enrolled Cherokee Nation citizen with over a decade of direct operational experience in anti-human trafficking victim recovery, coordinated with federal and state law enforcement partners. We don't just raise awareness — we respond.
Our founding team brings together military veterans, law enforcement professionals, and nonprofit leaders united by a shared mission: to provide the operational response, safe housing, intelligence tools, and survivor support that trafficked individuals desperately need and rarely receive.
As an enrolled Cherokee Nation organization, we are uniquely positioned to serve Native American communities — which face disproportionately high rates of trafficking and missing persons — with culturally competent, operationally capable support.
See Our ProgramsEach program addresses a critical gap in the anti-trafficking response ecosystem — from safe housing and intelligence to field recovery and community education.
Secure, confidential residential services for trafficking survivors and at-risk individuals — from emergency placement through transitional housing and full case management.
Proprietary technology platform supporting victim identification, threat monitoring, and recovery operations through OSINT, dark web monitoring, and pattern-of-life analysis.
Direct operational services for victim location, safe extraction, secure transport, and missing persons investigations — bridging the gap between nonprofit care and field-level response.
Targeted education and professional training programs that build trafficking identification and response capacity across communities, industries, and vulnerable populations.
Our founding board brings together operational experience, nonprofit governance, and subject matter expertise that most organizations in this space simply cannot replicate.
