Overview
The Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the U.S., challenging racial and economic injustice, and protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society.

In addition, EJI establishes memorials - physical (i.e. museums) and virtual - to document the legacy of racism throughout the country. This grant provides general operating support to advance their work.
