Overview
Mission
At innocence oc, we're dedicated to reclaiming the stolen years of the wrongfully convicted, challenging flaws in the system, and envisioning a future where justice is truly just. We aim to provide financial support and community involvement to orange county's only innocence organization, which provides pro bono legal work to wrongfully convicted prisoners who are either factually innocent or who have been wrongfully convicted under the kill zone theory.
What it reported doing in 2024
Innocence oc is a group of volunteers, investigators, paralaegals, and attorneys who work together to obtain the release of innocent or wrongfully convicted prisoners in California. The volunteers are community leaders who have also faced judicial inequality and injustice. Volunteers help with the organization of the group, setting up meetings, and fundraisers, drafting, and sending out minutes, approving the budget, approving of expenses, approving tasks for investigators, coordinating new cases, and assigning duties to other volunteers.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 88% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
