Sustain our work by becoming a monthly supporter.

The Freedom Champions Program is a monthly giving initiative that invites supporters to contribute regularly to the Tennessee Innocence Project (TIP). This program ensures a steady stream of funding, empowering TIP to respond rapidly to emerging challenges in the legal, policy, and forensic science fields.

By becoming a Freedom Champion, donors join a community dedicated to freeing the innocent and preventing future injustices.

For more information, contact Gabrielle Dalton at gabrielle@tninnocence.org.
