ABOUT UNCUFF THE INNOCENT

UNCUFF THE INNOCENT (the "Doing Business As" name of Unite Nationwide for Cops Under Fire Foundation) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit private foundation organization working to protect innocent law enforcement officers and other innocent individuals from wrongful allegations and convictions so that officers can safely protect the public and the wrongfully accused and convicted will regain freedom and receive support.

 

The organization was incorporated on Oct. 23, 2017, as an Iowa Nonprofit Corporation with a volunteer Board of Directors including four former law enforcement officers, two of whom are exonerees who each spent more than 20 years wrongfully imprisoned.

 

Because law enforcement officers and exonerees are the roots from which UNCUFF THE INNOCENT grew, the organization is both supportive of police and supportive of the public, encouraging them to join forces to end wrongful convictions. 

 

We provide legal defense funds and further investigation to falsely accused and wrongfully convicted individuals, financial aid to the exonerated in need, body camera funds to U.S. law enforcement agencies, and educational material about wrongful convictions to the public.

 

UNCUFF THE INNOCENT is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes.  We have received recognition as a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Our tax identification number is 82-3208410.

 

All charitable contributions, for which no goods or services were received, are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.  Please consult with your tax adviser or the IRS to determine the extent to which a contribution is tax-deductible.
