Let’s build a better pretrial system – together.
Your support powers The Bail Project’s work to secure freedom for people who can’t afford bail.
Your donation helps real people,
in real time.
Free Bail Assistance
We pay bail for people who can't afford it – restoring the presumption of innocence, reuniting families, and building the evidence that drives lasting change
Community Release with Support
Freedom is just the start. We send court date reminders, provide free rides to every hearing, and connect people to voluntary services – from housing to substance use recovery – based on what they actually need to navigate the legal system.
Policy Change
Every person we support is proof that cash bail isn't necessary for people to return to court. We turn that evidence into advocacy, working to end money bail for good.
