We Changed Our Name!


Our official expansion into sister states of North Dakota and South Dakota makes our name, the Innocence Project of Minnesota, obsolete. Moving forward, we are the:

GREAT NORTH INNOCENCE PROJECT!

We might be experts on wrongful convictions, but we’re not marketing and branding experts. At the request of our board member, Lea Harpster, her colleagues at Thomson Reuters volunteered to help us find our new identity! This terrific team got to work and helped us improve our outreach to you, create our new name and our new logo, which we’re proud to reveal as part of our 2020 Benefit for Innocence.
