[Criminal Justice Reform] Grant investigator: Chloe Cockburn This page was reviewed but not written by the grant investigator. TOPS staff also reviewed this page prior to publication. The Open Philanthropy Project recommended a grant of $280,000 to The Ordinary People Society (TOPS) for general support. This grant represents a renewal of our 2016 grant to TOPS, and will support its work organizing and training a network of pastors to advocate for criminal justice reform across Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee. The Open Philanthropy Project has separately recommended a grant to the Prodigal Child Project, a new 501(c)(4) organization affiliated with TOPS. This is a discretionary grant, and falls within our focus area of criminal justice reform.
