When you give to Vera, you can now double the impact of your contribution. Please help us take advantage of a new challenge grant. Every dollar you donate will be matched, up to $1 million. Donate securely online and help make our justice systems fairer and more effective.

During the past year, Vera researched and reported on the fiscal crisis in corrections and helped produce the final report from Governor David Paterson's Task Force on Transforming Juvenile Justice, along with conducting vital initiatives throughout the country and abroad.

The math could not be simpler: Your $25 contribution will become $50, a gift of $100 will become $200—and so on. We appreciate your support and wish you and your loved ones a very happy new year.
