Foundation for Improvement of Justice

The Foundation for Improvement of Justice works to enhance local, state, and federal systems of justice by rewarding the accomplishments of innovative programs throughout the United States. Each year, awards of $10,000 are provided to up to seven nominees for justice-related programs that have proven to be effective and can serve as models for others. Award categories include the following: legal reform, crime prevention, child protection, speeding the process, effecting restitution, crime victims' rights, alternative sentencing, lowering the cost, improvements to the civil litigation process, and other significant efforts. (These are awards given for accomplishments, not for future projects; grants and startup funding are not provided.) The program is open to all individuals, programs, and organizations within the United States. The nomination deadline is May 21, 2021.
