Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The innocence project, inc. (ip) is a national nonprofit with the mission to free innocent people who have been wrongly convicted and reform the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice. The ip has helped exonerate over 251 people, a disproportionate number of whom are people of color and some who were sentenced to death. Cumulatively, they spent thousands of years in prison for crimes they did not commit, and in many cases, the person who actually committed the crime went on to commit others. The ip is dedicated to researching, analyzing and educating stakeholders and the public on the causes and consequences of wrongful convictions and other systemic problems. The ip works to pass laws and prevent the admissibility of unreliable, non-scientific evidence to prevent future miscarriages of justice. Founded in 1992 as a clinic at cardozo school of law at yeshiva university, the ip incorporated as a 501(c)3 organization in 2004, though it maintains an affiliation with cardozo.

Dedicated to exonerating the wrongfully convicted and reforming the criminal justice system.

IRS990/Desc0LEGAL SERVICES (INCLUDES LEGAL, INTAKE, AND SOCIAL WORK): THE INNOCENCE PROJECT LEVERAGES THE FACT-FINDING SCIENCE OF DNA TESTING TO EXPOSE ERRORS IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AND TO EXONERATE PEOPLE IN PRISON OR ON DEATH ROW FOR CRIMES THEY DID NOT COMMIT. TO DETERMINE WHICH CASES WE CAN ACCEPT, OUR STEADFAST INTAKE TEAM REVIEWED 1781 LETTERS IN THE FISCAL YEAR 2025 FROM INCARCERATED PEOPLE REQUESTING AN INVESTIGATION INTO THEIR INNOCENCE CLAIMS. THE TEAM THEN CONDUCTS AN IN-DEPTH EVALUATION OF THE CASES TO DETERMINE WHETHER DNA TESTING CAN PROVE INNOCENCE AND PRESENTS THEM TO OUR LEGAL TEAM TO MAKE A FINAL DETERMINATION OF WHICH CASES TO ACCEPT. ONCE CASES ARE ACCEPTED, OUR STAFF ATTORNEYS WORK WITH LAW SCHOOL CLINIC STUDENTS TO INVESTIGATE THE CASES, TO FIND BIOLOGICAL EVIDENCE AND TO GAIN ACCESS TO POST-CONVICTION TESTING THROUGH AGREEMENTS OR COURT ORDERS. WHEN DNA RESULTS PROVE OUR CLIENTS' INNOCENCE, WE SEEK THEIR IMMEDIATE RELEASE. IN FISCAL YEAR 2025, WE EXONERATED TWO INDIVIDUALS OF CRIMES THEY DID NOT COMMIT AND WORKED TO FREE MANY MORE. DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2025, THE INNOCENCE PROJECT REPRESENTED APPROXIMATELY 210 CLIENTS AT ANY GIVEN TIME AND EVALUATED THOUSANDS OF REQUESTS FOR HELP FROM INDIVIDUALS CONVICTED OF A CRIME OR THEIR FAMILIES. TO DATE, THE INNOCENCE PROJECT HAS HELPED FREE MORE THAN 253 PEOPLE. FOR EACH EXONERATION CASE, INNOCENCE PROJECT SOCIAL WORKERS HELPED CLIENTS REUNITE WITH THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND PROVIDED ASSISTANCE TO SECURE HOUSING, DAY-TO-DAY TRANSPORTATION, CRITICAL MEDICAL OR MENTAL HEALTH CARE, AND SUPPORT IN FINDING EMPLOYMENT. THE INNOCENCE PROJECT REPRESENTED 250 CLIENTS, AND THE SOCIAL WORK TEAM WORKED WITH 65 FORMER CLIENTS DURING THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2025.
