This season, your tax-deductible gift today will go twice as far, thanks to a $20,000 matching gift from a generous private donor! Every dollar you give will be matched, dollar for dollar, to amplify the voices of incarcerated people and foster relationships that set people up for successful reentry.

Your Impact

$100
Provide a speaker with a professional headshot and TEDx shirt to look their best and feel confident as they step on stage.

$250
Support a special coaching session for speakers to build confidence and communication skills.

$500
Support video recording & editing for speakers to ensure their talks are professionally captured and formatted to reach audiences beyond prison walls.

Or, make a gift using another preferred method such as wire, donor-advised fund, check, or stock.

Proximity for Justice operates under the fiscal sponsorship of Goodnation Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
