Overview

Mission

Atlanta Community Support Project (ACSP) works at the intersection of legal access and community empowerment, organizing and resourcing each other with the tools needed to advocate and civically engage in prison and after.

What it reported doing in 2025

ACSPs Legal Access Action connects volunteer attorneys to the work of jailhouse lawyers, grounding post - conviction and parole advocacy in community - led legal work. LAA sustains ongoing mail correspondencewith incarcerated people, offers free State Bar - approved CLE trainings, and provides holistic support for lawyers handling pro bono parole and DV survivor justice cases. In late 2025, LAA began taking on a small number of cases directly. The initiative also supports public defenders and creates experiential learning opportunities for law students.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
