Lets see if we can develop additional evidence to support that claim.
Here is their web site:
https://humantraffickinghotline.org/
On their "about" page they say this:
The National Hotline has been in operation since December 7th, 2007, by Polaris, a non-profit, non-governmental organization that is a leader in the global fight to eradicate modern slavery and restore freedom to survivors of human trafficking. We are not a government entity, law enforcement, or immigration. Funding is provided by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other private donors and supporters.Link for Polaris is in the original, and leads to:The National Hotline serves all individuals who reach out for our services regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, age, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or any other factor protected by local, state, or federal law.

They also have a link to "Charity Navigator" a site I am not familiar with. (And we all know what the story is with the Fact-Check sites) but still, they provide information. Here is the link for Polaris on "Charity Navigator". From this we get some information on them:
Catherine A. McLean, Chairperson

Bradley Myles Executive Director and CEO,
Just for fun I looked up the Clinton Foundation, and they have an overall rating of 92, and Bill Clinton is the CoB there, and has two guys making $394,000 and the other making $361,000.
Nice work if you can get it.
The Polaris site has a bio of the CEO:

For over a decade, he has devoted himself to combating human trafficking and modern slavery on a local, national, and global scale.

Under Myles' leadership, Polaris has also worked to strengthen the U.S. national movement against human trafficking through policy advocacy in all 50 states, and through a wide range of training and capacity-building programs. He also helped create and launch Polaris's operation of the United States national human trafficking hotline at 1-888-373-7888, which has identified and responded to more than 25,000 cases of human trafficking nationwide. This national model is now regarded as one of the best-functioning anti- trafficking hotlines in the world and has become a focal point of Polaris' growing global programs.
Mr. Myles is currently focusing his efforts on Polaris’s future strategy for the next decade, which includes working towards better anti-trafficking hotline coverage globally to build a stronger safety net for all 21 million victims of human trafficking worldwide, strengthening partnerships with the world's leading technology companies, and undertaking new data-driven intervention efforts targeted towards eliminating specific types of modern slavery in the U.S. and around the world.
