Project ID: IDs for Life

Almost a decade ago, we started Project ID because we believed something simple: everyone deserves to be able to build the life they want to live.

That belief hasn't changed. And neither has the need.

A government-issued ID is the starting line- for voting, for work, for housing, for healthcare, for everything. Millions of Americans are still waiting at that starting line. Not because they gave up. Because the system put up walls that are genuinely hard to climb alone.

That’s where we come in.

Project ID manages a free national ID helpline and helps people obtain IDs on the ground- because this work is too important to pause, and too urgent to slow down.

Every call we answer is someone who decided to try again. Every ID we help someone obtain is a door that just opened. We intend to keep answering, and keep opening doors.

Your gift makes that possible.

  • $25 — covers a birth certificate, the first document that unlocks everything else

  • $40 — covers state ID fees for one person

  • $100 — gets one person fully documented, start to finish

  • $250 — funds a full week of helpline operations

  • $500 — sponsors a full month of direct ID support in the field

  • $1,000 — becomes a founding gift to the next chapter of this work

This is the moment to double down on democracy. We're not stepping back - we're stepping forward. Come with us.
