Season of Justice (SOJ) supports victims of unsolved violent crimes by funding various types of advanced DNA analysis solutions, such as forensic genetic genealogy and next-gen sequencing, by bridging the gap preventing investigative agencies from accessing resources that could help solve these difficult cases.
Season of Justice does not fund adult Doe or baby Doe cases where the investigative goal is limited to the identification of the victim. Doe cases may be considered in matters of clear homicide or where special circumstances exist. If you need additional guidance, please contact the Season of Justice staff.
Season of Justice (SOJ) is an independent nonprofit organization and is not affiliated with any private laboratories or forensic service providers. While we are happy to provide a list of labs and service providers that have previously worked with SOJ grantees, it is the responsibility of the Investigative Agency to select a provider that complies with all applicable state and local statutes. All funding decisions are made at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. SOJ does not provide reimbursement for forensic testing that has already been completed or is currently in progress. Only the Board of Directors has the authority to approve or deny funding requests.
OUR 2025 GRANT CYCLE WILL BEGIN IN SPRING 2025
