For 25 years, the Midwest Innocence Project has fought wrongful convictions across Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Iowa, and Nebraska.

Our community came together to raise $529,166 and help keep the path to freedom open.

That support helps MIP continue moving 21 active cases forward and remain available to the more than 900 people still waiting for their requests for help to be reviewed. Now, we are working to strengthen and sustain MIP to ensure that the next person who reaches out for help has someone in their corner.
