Made for Freedom’s range of products, including jewelry, apparel, and accessories, are handcrafted by survivors, ensuring that each purchase contributes directly to the fight against human trafficking.
Manske's participation in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program has equipped her with enhanced business acumen, strategic planning skills, and a robust network of fellow entrepreneurs and mentors. Reflecting on her experience, Dawn Manske stated, “The Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program got me away from focusing on where we are and provided a vision of how we can get to the next level and impact the lives of more survivors. It was a transformative experience that has reinvigorated my commitment to expanding Made for Freedom's reach and deepening our impact. I would encourage small business owners who are ready to be challenged to apply.”
During the program, Manske engaged in rigorous coursework covering various aspects of business growth, including financial management, marketing, leadership, and operations. The comprehensive curriculum, combined with one-on-one business advising and networking opportunities, has positioned Manske to lead Made for Freedom into its next phase of growth.
