Massachusetts Bar Foundation
The Massachusetts Bar Foundation (MBF) represents the commitment of the lawyers and judges of Massachusetts to improve the administration of justice, to promote an understanding of the law, and to ensure equal access to the legal system for all residents of the Commonwealth, particularly those most vulnerable.
The impact of the MBF’s work can be felt in every region of the Commonwealth. From Cape Cod to the Berkshires, the MBF provides critical funding to legal aid programs that help low-income individuals and families get the help they need to overcome tremendous obstacles and move toward a brighter future.
New England Innocence Project
Founded in 2000, the New England Innocence Project (NEIP) fights to correct and prevent wrongful convictions and ensure justice within the criminal legal system for innocent people throughout New England who are imprisoned for a crime they did not commit.
NEIP provides free forensic testing, investigation, experts, and an experienced legal team to exonerate the innocent and bring them home to their loved ones. The organization provides exoneree support through the peer-led Exoneree Network. NEIP also uses its expertise about wrongful convictions to provide education and advocate for legislative and judicial reforms to prevent future tragedies.
