About the company

Great North Innocence Project (GNIP), doing business as Ipmn, is a non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov since 2009 that focuses on addressing wrongful convictions across Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Founded in Minnesota, the organization expanded its geographical reach in 2019 to cover 206 counties and 23 Native Nations, providing pro bono legal services to individuals who have been wrongfully convicted. GNIP's mission centers on freeing innocent individuals who have been unjustly incarcerated and preventing future judicial errors, with a track record of securing the release of 11 individuals who collectively spent 132 years wrongfully imprisoned.

GNIP has consistently received federal grant awards from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), a component of the U.S. Department of Justice, primarily through Project Grant mechanisms focused on conviction review and innocence initiatives. Their most recent significant award is a $600,000 grant (Federal Grant Award ID: 15PBJA24GG02910WRNG) to expand efforts in investigating potential wrongful convictions, which includes hiring a full-time staff attorney, enhancing partnerships with prosecutors, and optimizing case intake processes. Previous federal grants have supported the establishment and operation of the Minnesota Conviction Review Unit (CRU), which systematically identifies and addresses potential wrongful convictions by screening prisoner applications, conducting investigations, and recommending conviction relief. The organization collaborates closely with the Minnesota Attorney General's Office as a sub-recipient, and their work aims to not only secure justice for wrongfully convicted individuals but also to improve overall criminal justice system transparency and accountability by identifying systemic problems that lead to wrongful convictions.
