Gideon's Hope

A nonprofit organization

100% complete

$20,000 Goal

Gideon's Hope was created to help devoted, skilled Assistant Public Defenders by awarding them a sum of money to supplement their income so that they can afford to continue working at the Public Defender's Office and fighting for the poor of Miami. Each year, Gideon's Hope awards scholarships to at least 2 Assistant Public Defenders who have worked at the Office between 2 1/2 to 5 years. To date, 17 incredible lawyers have received the award -- thanks to the generous donations from people like you. No other state or local community in the country supports its criminal defense public servants the way you do. Gideon's Hope - and you - recognize the necessity for and significance of having exceptional representation for the underprivileged. When our PDs stand up for the defenseless, they stand up for us all.

Mission

Gideon's Hope has a single purpose - to provide scholarships to the most talented and dedicated Miami-Dade Assistant Public Defenders so they can keep defending the rights of poor people in Miami. By donating to Gideon's Hope, you will enable our best and brightest public defense lawyers to afford to continue fighting against social injustice.
