10% of all jmp income goes to anti-trafficking organizations
our commitment is to donate 10% of all sales [from card sales to portrait & wedding packages] to *partners who work hand-in-hand and face-to-face with those caught within an injustice - specifically anti-trafficking organizations. this percentage also goes towards jMP projects. organizations are chosen based on their mission statement, their current & future goals/projects, the justice issues they target and, their financial needs. in certain situations, specific organizations will receive photographic donations for promotional use instead of, or in addition to, financial contributions. jMP bases this on direct involvement within a jMP project.
jMP focuses on specific issues such as, but not limited to: street children; crisis pregnancy; the sex industry and trafficking; and, infanticide within Brazil.
jMP goal: with growth in jMP business, it is our hope to raise the donation percentage to these and other future partners!
with each portrait or wedding package and photograph or greeting card purchase, 10% is donated to the following organizations. at other times, jMP donates funds from photo assignments towards one of these organizations as well. for more information on these partners, please click on the links provided. thank you for your photographic purchase through jMP - you will now have a hand in one of the following organizations!
jMP is always looking for ways to partner - so if you are an organization and could use some extra funding, please email us!

Trafficking in Persons Report - 2011 - U.S. Department of State
http://www.state.gov/g/tip/rls/tiprpt/2011/
"Every year, we come together to release this report, to take stock of our progress, to make suggestions, and to refine our methods. Today, we are releasing a new report that ranks 184 countries, including our own. One of the innovations when I became Secretary was we were going to also analyze and rank ourselves, because I don?t think it?s fair for us to rank others if we don?t look hard at who we are and what we?re doing. This report is the product of a collaborative process that involves ambassadors and embassies and NGOs as well as our team here in Washington. And it really does give us a snapshot about what?s happening. It shows us where political will and political leadership are making a difference." --Secretary Clinton, 27 June 2011
