Bard Prison Initiative (BPI) works to redefine the availability, affordability, and expectations typically associated with higher education in America.Today, BPI enrolls over 300 incarcerated students full-time in programs that culminate in degrees from Bard College; it offers extensive support for its alumni in and around New York City; and, it has developed a nationwide network of leading universities and colleges to catalyze a transformation in the relationship between education and criminal justice in the United States.

The Bail Project combats mass incarceration by disrupting the money bail system—one person at a time. They restore the presumption of innocence, reunite families, and challenge a system that criminalizes race and poverty. They are on a mission to end cash bail and create a more just, equitable, and humane pretrial system. Because bail is returned at the end of a case, donations to The Bail Project National Revolving Bail Fund can be recycled and reused to pay bail two to three times per year, maximizing the impact of every dollar.
