Where donations go
Every person working for the Fund does so on a voluntary basis. Donations are not used to pay salaries.
Proceeds from gifts, and from case campaigns once they are published, pay the legal and paralegal costs of the cases the Fund takes on. That can include counsel, transcripts, appeal books, and expert or investigative work a matter needs.
A gift to the Fund generally can be used across those cases. A gift to a named campaign is for the costs of that matter.
The Fund is a public benevolent institution with deductible gift recipient status. Donations of $2 or more are tax deductible. A gift through the donation form is processed by Zeffy, and the tax receipt is issued automatically.
