Progress Report and Fund Raising Information "The Justice Institute was incorporated under the Oregon Nonprofit Corporation Act on May 4, 1999 and is active on the records of the Corporation Division as of the date of this certificate." Justice Denied functions under The Justice Institute as its educational and publishing arm. Five people are on the board of directors. We will also form an advisory board, and are actively looking for the right people to sit on that board. Nonprofit Support Services in Eugene, Oregon, has been doing an excellent job of handling the paperwork and leading us through the process.The bank account has been changed over to The Justice Institute, also doing business as Justice: Denied.Your gifts to Justice Denied are now tax-deductible, so if you have been waiting to give, please climb aboard to support this most worthy effort. We can use everything from money to talent and everything in between. Justice Denied Magazine is the voice of those who previously had no voice to tell the world of their innocence -- to cry out for help. These are the people to whom you are giving. Servants of Justice (The Staff) Clara A. Thomas Boggs We still must do further filings to acquire our 501(c)(3) federal status. When we have federal status as a non profit, donations to Justice Denied will be retroactively tax-exempt as of the May 4, 1999 date that it became incorporated as a non-profit organization in Oregon.The Justice Institute is now incorporated as a NON-PROFIT! Donations: Please donate generously to Justice Denied. Your money will be prudently used. To help the wrongly convicted, we need funds to pay attorneys so they may study these cases, file briefs, visit prisoners, and mount a defense. If you can donate financially at any level, please consult the list below to choose the kind of help you are willing to give. Funding: To help a particular Inmate's Case: If you want to single out a prisoner whose story has moved you, we will put you in direct contact with that person's attorney or family. Please write to the staff, citing the person's name. We ask that you keep us informed if you become directly involved with help to someone. For Urgent Cases: To donate funds to help urgent cases (death row cases are that), let us know who you'd like to help, and we will put you in touch with someone who can receive your funds to help the particular prisoner you want to befriend. Contact Staff. General Fund to distribute among all. If you want us to distribute your donation among all prisoners profiled, we will prioritize the need, with defense or welfare funds first going to the more urgent cases and the poorest prisoners. Remember, we are now a non-profit, so we can give you a tax break on donations. Please be generous, for these are matters of injustice and of literally saving lives. To send pocket money to one inmate. If the inmate's address is furnished, you will need to write and ask the inmate how his institution handles money given to inmates. Sometimes getting money to an inmate is as simple as sending a money order, but more often there are rules to follow. Since we cannot cover all the rules for all the prisons, we urge you to write to the inmate. If no address is furnished, please write to us and we will supply it. Contact Staff. General fund for inmate expenses (pocket money). To make a donation to distribute among several inmates, follow the instructions below. You will receive copies of the money orders sent to several inmates. Recipients will be rotated.
