Educating · Supporting · Equipping
Our Mission & Vision
We aim to prevent or overturn wrongful convictions by educating, supporting, and equipping those wrongfully charged. We do this by investigating and informally advocating for them. We envision a day when no one serves time for the crimes of another.
Who We Are Not
- We are not lawyers. We cannot and will not give legal advice.*
- We are not partisan. We maintain strict commitment to political neutrality.

Unscheduled Execution.
7/16/22 Fraud Alert:
On July 16, 2022, Innocence Foundation’s merchant services account was cyberattacked and used in conjunction with nearly 20,000 stolen credit card numbers from an unknown database. We are deeply sorry this occurred. None of the charge attempts were initiated by us, nor did we receive any of the funds when charge attempts were successful. If you were impacted, please contact your financial institution.
