Vera Institute of Justice — Criminal Justice Reform Report

Organization:
Vera Institute of Justice
Award Date:
03/2017
Amount:
$50,000
Purpose:
To support a report on the state of safety and justice reform.

The Open Philanthropy Project awarded a grant of $50,000 to the Vera Institute of Justice to create a report on the state of safety and justice reform, which it hopes will function as a guide to help people outside the criminal justice reform movement (including new funders, allies, academics, and business leaders) to orient themselves to the field. It also plans to give 4-6 presentations in order to broaden the set of people engaged in criminal justice reform. This is a seed grant intended to help the Vera Institute of Justice raise the remaining funding it will need to create the report and fund launch events.

The Vera Institute of Justice is a nonprofit organization focused on research and policy in the area of criminal justice reform, a focus area of the Open Philanthropy Project.
