State legal nonprofit organizations soliciting donations on Georgia Gives Day

The state’s legal nonprofits are gearing up for Georgia Gives Day, the annual giving day that’s part of the national Giving Tuesday initiative to raise money for charities across the United States.

In Georgia, the need for donations at this Tuesday’s fundraiser for the Georgia Innocence Project is “extremely urgent,” said its spokeswoman Blis Savidge. According to its website, the project is “dedicated to assisting individuals convicted of crimes they did not commit in the state of Georgia,” and its mission is to “prevent and correct wrongful convictions while providing released clients with resources for.” rebuilding to connect your life.” It also focuses on education and political reform, Savidge said.
