FAQ

What is the NAPD Fund for Justice?

The NAPD Fund for Justice is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation, incorporated in Kentucky. Contributions to the Fund are tax-deductible. The goal of the NAPD Fund for Justice, Inc. is to enhance the right to counsel and public defense in the United States. It will fund such efforts as technical assistance to local defender programs on reducing workloads, obtaining education for staff, procuring resources, providing scholarship opportunities and student loan repayment assistance.

How does the fund help those in my state and local community?

Attorneys representing indigent clients face daunting workloads, low salaries and inadequate resources. The NAPD Fund for Justice is working to address these challenges by funding activities that will better equip overworked and underpaid public defenders and conflict attorneys and their staff in local communities by providing more knowledge that is accessible to them through in-person education or through electronic means. This will increase their ability and capacity to provide high quality representation to clients by increasing funding to reduce caseloads. This focused local assistance will support the ability of programs to enhance the right to counsel and implement the individual guarantees of our Bill of Rights for each client. Local justice communities are strengthened when there are strong Chief Defenders equipped with defender leadership education, strong conflict counsel and well-trained litigators and support staff.
