Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

We are changing the future of criminal justice by developing tools that help communities, including the institutions that serve them, reshape how the system works.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To collect data to measure the performance of local criminal justice systems.

  • Measures for Justice Institute (the Organization) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to make accurate criminal justice data available to spur reform. Problem: Criminal justice happens primarily at the local level, across 3,000+ U.S. counties. As a result: criminal justice data is incredibly hard to get, incredibly hard to understand, and incredibly hard to use. This is one of the main reasons it's so hard for communities to rally for change or make informed decisions about what has to be done. (Continued on Schedule O)Solution: A world in which the criminal justice system is fully transparent, accessible, and accountable.To get there, Measures for Justice helps make criminal justice data: - easier to get, - easier to understand, - easier to use.Measures for Justice does this by providing data tools and services that help communities drive the change they want to see. Some of these include: Commons - a platform that allows the public, police, prosecutors, courts to work together to make criminal justice performance data available as the basis for informed decision-making. As part of this process, Commons provides communities with a unique opportunity to set and track criminal justice policy goals.Data Portal - one of the largest bodies of standardized, accurate, and coherent county-level criminal justice data in the country. The Portal allows users to compare the performance of counties within and across states across a series of measures from arrest to post-conviction. The Portal includes a growing number of states, counties and 45 million criminal justice cases - which allows users to generate full county reports and state overviews. Data Assessment Tools - tools that help agencies gauge and improve the quality of their data in preparation for greater transparency.Consulting - We work with agencies/offices/courts to help them improve how they collect and standardize their data based on a series of best practices and model legislation.Research - We conduct original research on data trends and policies to help stakeholders make smart choices.This program is funded by contributions.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
