What Line 3 Legal Fund does
Mission
The line 3 legal defense fund provides financial support to people facing arrest, jail time, and state repression because of their opposition to enbridge's line 3 pipeline project. We are a volunteer-run nonprofit organization based out of the twin cities, and were founded in 2019 and will continue to operate for as long as is needed. We are flexible and adaptable to the needs of defendants, and respond to requests on a case by case basis. We are so grateful for the risks that water protectors have taken, and so excited to support them
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The line 3 legal defense fund existed to support defendants who protested the line 3 pipeline through the process of navigating their court cases. Our activity was conducted mainly online, although we were based in minnesota. We were completely funded by donations from individuals. We are a volunteer-run nonprofit organization. We accomplished our mission once the last few court cases were resolved and thus did not have much activity in 2024. We put our efforts in 2024 towards finishing out the last of our organizational tasks and dissolving the organization.
The program described on its FY2024 Form 990.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $196k to $74k (−62%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
