  • $600 - Buy groceries for an exoneree for three months.

  • $1,000 - Pay for DNA testing on one item of evidence for an indigent client (each case requires at least 2 DNA analyses – so our client’s DNA can be compared to the evidence).

Your gift will help us evaluate and process the hundreds of requests for assistance that IPF receives, fund more investigators, experts, attorneys and staff to litigate our cases, pay for DNA testing for indigent clients, provide more transitional assistance to exonerees and advance our reform initiatives to address the causes of wrongful convictions.

The Innocence Project of Florida is a non-profit legal organization providing pro bono services to our clients. We are a tax exempt organization pursuant to the Internal Revenue Service Act Section 501(c)(3).

As such, all donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Our Federal Tax ID is 20-0210812.

​

Although we are the premier resource in Florida for those who have been wrongfully convicted and imprisoned, we receive no funding from the State of Florida. Grants by the Florida Bar Foundation, Department of Justice, and others have brought us this far, and for that we will always be grateful. But our continued operation and success depends on the generosity and financial support of friends, like you.
