| Desc | In FY25, Georgia Innocence Project secured the exoneration and freedom of an innocent man who served 22 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. In FY25, Georgia Innocence Project, often in collaboration with pro bono partners, actively worked on 22 representation stage cases, had 17 cases in active screening for post-conviction claims of innocence, and processed 280 requests for help. Georgia Innocence Project also advocated for fair compensation for innocent exonerees and reform of Georgia's compensation process, provided direct exoneree support to several exonerees, hosted "freedom gatherings" where exonerees in Georgia accessed peer support and strengthened community, and worked in partnership with freed and exonerated people to educate the public about the causes and consequences of wrongful conviction in Georgia. | Desc |

| Explanation | The Organization recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, there are no known items which would result in a material accrual related to where the Organization has federal or state attributable tax positions.
