Safe Passage Foundation is a not-for-profit foundation established in April 2003 by three former second generation Family members.

According to its web site, it has adopted the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child as the statement of its guiding philosophy and its mission is to "ensure that minors within cults or high demand organizations are protected from abuse and exploitation and that their rights are respected and protected," that "those who choose to leave a cult or high demand organization have a support structure throughout the transitional period" and that "those who violate children's human rights are held accountable for their crimes and face justice."[1]
