This Criminal Justice Reform Funder Is Backing Those Impacted by the System to Lead the Way
Criminal justice reform is an area of philanthropy that has expanded dynamically during the past several years, attracting a wide range of donors funding several approaches. As Inside Philanthropy has reported, bail reform, policing reform and alternatives to incarceration are some of the notable strategies that have attracted a good deal of funder attention lately. There is another area, too, that’s important but flies somewhat under the radar: funding for leadership development among the formerly incarcerated, their families and others affected by mass incarceration.
