HOW YOU CAN HELP

IPNO only exists because people and foundations make donations to our organization and interns, volunteers and pro bono attorneys donate their time to helping innocent people in prison.


1. Make a donation. Your donation is tax deductible. Below are some examples of what your money can help us do.

$25 -- Police report

$60 -- Two doctor's visits for an exoneree

$100 -- District attorney case file

$250 -- Five prison trips to visit clients and develop cases

$500 -- Six months of case related office supplies

$750 -- One year of online people searches to find witnesses

$1,000 -- One computer workstation (hardware and software)

$2,500 -- One DNA test

$4,000 -- Investigation and travel costs for one case

$10,000 – Case investigation for one year for all of IPNO’s cases

$15,000 -- One Jesuit Volunteer Corps volunteer stipend for one year

$35,000 -- One full-time investigator for one year

$40,000 -- One full-time attorney for one year

If you would like to make a money donation to IPNO, please send a check to:
Innocence Project New Orleans
3301 Chartres Street, New Orleans
New Orleans, LA 70117
Or, use the link below to make an online money donation. All donations to IPNO are tax deductible.

2. Donate your expertise. While we have the most use for law students, we can sometimes use other members of the community with more varied skills. If you have a skill that you think we could use, you could really make a difference if you have at least 100 hours of time to donate. We are especially interested in people who can help us expand and serve the community. If you're interested in volunteering with IPNO, please contact carolynm@ip-no.org, or call us for more information.

3. Donate your goods. Office supplies, copy paper, toner, furniture, computer hardware and software – we often have use for these things. Contact info@ip-no.org if you have it you can donate it, we will use it.
