Donate to help free the innocent.

The Innocence Project has spent the last 31 years fighting to free the innocent and transform the criminal legal system. We’ve helped free or exonerate more than 240 people who’ve collectively spent over 3,800 years wrongly incarcerated. With your support, we can do even more — donate today.
