LAS VEGAS (Nov. 10, 2026) – Signs of HOPE (Healing, Options, Prevention and Education), a nonprofit dedicated to offering hope, help and healing to those affected by sexual violence and exploitation, is pleased to announce a $25,000 donation from Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc. The funds will help sustain the organization’s crisis response and long-term case management services for victims and survivors of sexual assault and human trafficking.
In addition to the financial contribution, Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix organizers will once again display signage (here) featuring Signs of HOPE’s 24/7 sexual assault hotline, 702-366-1640, and human trafficking hotline, 702-936-4004, at locations throughout the 2026 race circuit.
This marks the third consecutive year Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix has partnered with Signs of HOPE. The nonprofit and its Resources and Integration for Survivor Empowerment or RISE anti-human-trafficking program serve as the lead human trafficking nonprofit for many of the large-scale events hosted in Southern Nevada.
“We are grateful to Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix for its continued investment in the safety and well-being of our community,” said Kim Small, CEO of Signs of HOPE. “Sexual violence and human trafficking are year-round concerns that require coordination, preparation, and resources. This generous donation strengthens our ability to respond to those in crisis, connect victims with critical services, and provide the long-term care they need to rebuild their lives. We are incredibly grateful for this ongoing partnership and Las Vegas Grand Prix’s commitment to making a meaningful difference in our community.”
As the lead human trafficking nonprofit, Signs of HOPE advocates embed in the field with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to provide on-scene crisis response, train event staff and volunteers, and serve as the main point of contact for all resources, support and referrals.
“We appreciate the invaluable work Signs of HOPE does in our community, ensuring victims of sexual assault and human trafficking have an avenue to seek and secure critical and compassionate help and resources,” said Lori Nelson-Kraft, senior vice president of community affairs, Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix.
According to Small, the need for services is great in Clark County year-round. In 2025 Signs of HOPE:
· Encountered more than 1,000 human trafficking victims in the field
· Served more than 660 human trafficking survivors, including 116 juveniles
· Staffed over 4,800 hotline calls
