A community bail fund that combats mass incarceration by disrupting the money bail system one person at a time. It works nationally to provide a lifeline for the tens of thousands of low-income Americans who, on any given day, are at risk of pretrial incarceration due to their economic status and race. In 2017, it expanded its revolving-fund model to a national level, with 40 sites in high-need jurisdictions planned to open over the next five years, helping over 160,000 low-income Americans. We are encouraged by its momentum, and the powerful stories and data that indicate money bail is not necessary to ensure people return to court.

An all-volunteer organization dedicated to recognizing women's achievements and contributions to major advancements in our society through its Monumental Women campaign. There are 23 statues of historical figures in NYC's Central Park, but not one honors a woman. The fund will build a statue commemorating America’s suffragists in Central Park, honoring the brave women who fought for 72 years for the ratification of the 19th Amendment. This statue is one small but very intentional step closer to women’s equality and equal representation.

A nonprofit organization working to transform society’s response to sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse. Its Accountability Project, EndTheBacklog.org, brought to light the issue that hundreds of thousands of rape kits have gone untested for decades, meaning that hundreds of thousands of crimes have gone unsolved, victims have been denied justice, and perpetrators have gone undetected. Its goal is to eliminate the existing backlog of untested rape kits across the US and prevent a backlog from ever happening again is, inspiring—and inspired us to give.

It is built upon the important work of bail funds assisting individuals attain their freedom while building community capacity and a coordinated advocacy force.
