What Fair and Just Prosecution does

Fair and Just Prosecution (FJP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operating as a fiscally-sponsored project of The Tides Center (EIN 94-3213100). Founded in 2017 and headquartered in New York, FJP supports a peer-driven national network of locally elected prosecutors — including district attorneys, state attorneys, and commonwealth's attorneys — committed to evidence-based criminal justice reform. Across more than 65 signatory jurisdictions, FJP equips reform-minded prosecutors with policy toolkits, technical assistance, research, expert access, training sessions, and in-person convenings designed to counter the isolation prosecutors face when implementing reforms and to defend prosecutorial independence against political attacks.

FJP's core deliverables include The Fair and Just Journal (an in-depth analytical publication), the Issues at a Glance policy brief series (covering topics ranging from mental health response and fentanyl policy to AI-generated police reports and drug-induced homicide prosecutions), the '21 Principles for the 21st Century Prosecutor' blueprint co-developed with the Brennan Center for Justice and The Justice Collaborative, the Summer Fellows program placing law students in reform-minded prosecutorial offices, and the Prison Visit Pledge initiative signed by 65 elected prosecutors. FJP does not develop proprietary technology products; its outputs are publications, convenings, technical assistance, and an advocacy network.

FJP generates revenue entirely through charitable donations, with suggested tiers ranging from $50 (Allies) to $2,500+ (Legacy Leaders). Its go-to-market is community-led: the organization recruits and engages elected prosecutors through direct outreach, peer networks, in-person convenings, and free online resources, while funding derives from individuals, foundations, and supporters donating through its website and partner platforms. The customer/beneficiary base comprises government prosecutor offices and educational fellows; no transactional pricing applies.
