Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
GEORGIA INNOCENCE PROJECT (GIP) IS AN INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATION THAT WORKS HOLISTICALLY TO FREE INNOCENT PEOPLE FROM GEORGIA PRISONS, TO ASSIST EXONEREES WITH REBUILDING THEIR LIVES IN FREEDOM, AND MITIGATE THE CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF WRONGFUL CONVICTION AT A SYSTEMIC LEVEL.
Activities or mission (Part I)
TO CORRECT AND PREVENT WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS IN GEORGIA, AND TO ASSIST THE EXONERATED WITH REBUILDING THEIR LIVES IN FREEDOM.
-
In FY25, Georgia Innocence Project secured the exoneration and freedom of an innocent man who served 22 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. In FY25, Georgia Innocence Project, often in collaboration with pro bono partners, actively worked on 22 representation stage cases, had 17 cases in active screening for post-conviction claims of innocence, and processed 280 requests for help. Georgia Innocence Project also advocated for fair compensation for innocent exonerees and reform of Georgia's compensation process, provided direct exoneree support to several exonerees, hosted "freedom gatherings" where exonerees in Georgia accessed peer support and strengthened community, and worked in partnership with freed and exonerated people to educate the public about the causes and consequences of wrongful conviction in Georgia.

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.
