Mission
Our mission is to transform the criminal justice system by building a movement of public defenders who provide equal justice for marginalized communities
-
Gideons Promise strengthens the nations public defense system by training, supporting, and sustaining student law clerks, new public defenders, chief defenders, and other indigent defense providers. Our mission is to transform the criminal justice system by building a movement of public defenders who provide equal justice for marginalized communities.In 2024, Gideons Promise equipped 618 public defenders and office chiefs with the skills, mentorship, and community support needed to deliver high-quality legal representation. Through our trademarked CORE 101 model and tailored regional programs, our work reached Georgia, Michigan, New York (Leaders Program), Tennessee, and Texas, where we delivered statewide comprehensive programming. This work is sustained by a growing network of supporters. Eighty-two volunteers and six interns contributed more than 1,880 hours of service in 2024. These contributions strengthen public defense offices across the nation, protecting the constitutional rights of thousands of individuals who would otherwise face the criminal legal system without adequate representation.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
