Sponsor a Resident
Help us get a new exoneree on their feet. Items needed immediately are clothing, toiletries, food, a cell phone, transportation, etc. If you’d like to support monthly expenses, we can show you how.

Peer Support
Spending time in prison, especially when you are innocent, can lead to bitterness and an inability to trust other individuals or institutions. At Innocence Maintained our hope is to launch a regular peer support group for exonerees. Interested in helping get this off the ground?

On the Job Training
Do you have a business that can provide on the job training for a newly exonerated individual? Most are without any skills, are eager to learn and need an income. Ask us how you can get on our approved business list.

Financial Literacy
At Innocence Maintained, we believe that exonerees need tools to find success once they re-enter life outside of prison. That includes learning how to bank, manage money, pay bills and more. Please support this program.

Computer/Social Media Literacy
Learn the basics of using a computer for everything from job searches to online banking and bill pay. How to use mobile devices, social media and the internet, will be a key part of the training. Want to sponsor this program?
