Mission
Fund for Justice is a nationally connected social impact research and advocacy organization that works to achieve fundamental, systemic reform by addressing policies and practicies that prevent individuals from reaching their full potential. We focus on social justice and government effectiveness ranging from fair criminal justice systems to equal access in financial institutions.
-
Criminal Justice Reform - Research and advocacy related to creating a diversion section within the Cook County Criminal Courts to provide a coordinated, more effective system of diverting defendants out of the criminal justice system and, in the process, reduce the population of the Cook County jail. Reducing the imposition of court costs, fines and fees on indigent persons. Immigration Court Reform - Court watching and development of a research report on the way bond hearings should be conducted in immigration courts. Voter Education in Judicial Elections - Preparing for a more user friendly, more effective judicial voter education system.

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.
