Where Your
Donations Go
Innocence Canada is a national non-governmental organization working to exonerate the wrongly convicted.
Innocence Canada is fortunate to have a small, dedicated team of staff lawyers and low-bono case reviewers, generously funded by the Lindy Green Charitable Family Foundation and Law Foundation of Ontario. The legal team has been instrumental in reducing our waitlist from six years to 4.5 years in 2025—a significant improvement, but still far too long for those seeking justice. Financial support remains essential to sustain our core work and cover the many other costs involved in proving claims of innocence. With your support, we can continue to shorten wait times and help more individuals who have been wrongfully convicted.
Uncover new evidence and verify key details to support wrongful conviction claims.
Conduct forensic analysis to test questionable forensic evidence used in convictions.
Receive critical case insights from specialists in law, science, and psychology
Re-examine testimonies, locate new witnesses, and gather statements to verify original claims.
Obtain records essential for appeals and case reviews.
Provide in-person investigations and support by our legal team and investigators.
