GET INVOLVED

Ordinary people,
standing in the gap

Our vision only works if somebody actually steps in.

A nation where no family faces judicial injustice alone is not something a small foundation in Dallas can deliver by itself. It takes leaders who know a fight from the inside, advocates willing to sit in a courtroom, and people who give what they can. There are three ways to be one of them.

THREE WAYS IN

Where do you fit?

01

LEAD

Become a Founding Program Leader, Ambassador, or Strategic Alliance Partner. Three of our four initiatives are still looking for the person who will run them.

02

ADVOCATE

Program support, research, investigation, and court watching. Show up where these cases are actually decided and make sure somebody is in the room.

03

SUPPORT

Fundraise, volunteer, or give. Seven hundred and fifty dollars funds one Project Seal filing. A few hours a month keeps a family from falling through.

PARTNERSHIP

Three tiers, depending on how deep you want to go

We are piloting three new initiatives by 2027 alongside the citizen justice work already in place. Our goal is to be the operations, media, and funding arm behind advocates who are already doing this — so more people get helped and nobody has to build an organization from scratch to do it.

TIER ONE

Founding Program Leader

For an all-in operational leader, advocate, and expert who wants to run an initiative.
  • Subject matter expertise for your initiative
  • Operational and team leadership
  • Podcast appearances and speaking engagements
  • Representing the Foundation publicly
  • Fundraising for your program
  • Monthly planning and content collaboration
  • Media availability

TIER TWO

Founding Ambassador

For an established advocate or subject matter expert with little to no operational involvement.
  • Lend your name and expertise to an initiative
  • Speak, write, and appear on our behalf
  • Advise on program direction
  • No day-to-day operational load
  • No fundraising quota

TIER THREE

Strategic Alliance Partner

For an established podcaster or organization already in this fight.
  • Cross-promotion and mutual referrals
  • Joint fundraising
  • Shared events and shared expenses
  • Shared marketing and promotion
  • You keep your own branding and control

WHAT WE BRING

You bring the expertise. We bring everything else.

Partners do not build infrastructure. That is the entire point of doing this with us instead of alone.

OPERATIONS

Everything operational, plus service and delivery support behind your program.

MARKETING & PR

Advertising, branding, media placement, and content production.

BACK OFFICE

Administrative support, systems, team and volunteer management.

TECHNOLOGY

Software, tooling, and the technical support to run a national program.

TRAVEL

Booking and reimbursement for speaking, events, and appearances.

DONOR REACH

Shared resources, leads, network, and access to our donor base.

FUNDRAISING

A funding engine behind your initiative rather than a GoFundMe.

A CAREER TRACK

A future paid position for leaders who build something that lasts.

ADVOCATE ROLES

Ways to help that are not money

Some of the most useful things anyone has ever done for these families cost nothing but time and attention.

OUR MOST NEEDED ROLE

Court Watcher

Sit in the gallery and take notes. Judges, prosecutors, and guardians behave differently when someone is watching and writing it down — and for a family with no money for a transcript, your notes may be the only record of what was actually said. We train you, we tell you what to look for, and we handle the rest.

RESEARCH

Case Research & Investigation

Pull dockets, track filings, verify facts, and build the timelines our counsel works from. Legal training helps but is not required — carefulness matters more than a degree.

PROGRAM SUPPORT

Program & Family Support

Help families through intake, follow up on applications, coordinate housing and transportation, and make sure nobody who reached out gets forgotten in a queue.

FUNDRAISING

Fundraise & Host

Run a fundraiser, host a table, join a host committee, or introduce us to someone who should know about this work. Our reach is small; yours may be exactly what we are missing.

TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF

Start here

However you want to be involved, this is the form. Somebody reads it and gets back to you.

Or give, and let us do the rest

Not everyone has time to sit in a courtroom. Seven hundred and fifty dollars funds one Project Seal filing on behalf of one family.
