What can $25 do?

For 25 years, the Midwest Innocence Project has worked to correct and prevent wrongful convictions across the Midwest. The work continues because people continue showing up.

New requests for help arrive every day. Investigations continue. Legal teams keep fighting. Freed individuals continue rebuilding their lives after years of wrongful incarceration.

This spring brought the kind of news we don't get to share often enough.

These moments don't happen overnight. They are the result of years of investigation, litigation, advocacy, and people who continue to believe that truth matters.

Thank you for standing with us as we continue working to correct and prevent wrongful convictions across the Midwest.
