Your donation helps fund cutting-edge forensic DNA testing and investigative genetic genealogy (IGG) for cases that would otherwise go unsolved due to lack of funding.

Murder Has a Name Foundation is a registered nonprofit organization currently seeking IRS recognition of tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3). At this time, donations may not yet be tax-deductible. We will publicly announce once official tax-exempt status is approved.

Our funding comes from individual donors, private contributions, and partnerships with those who believe in advancing justice through modern forensic technology.

Funds are allocated directly to cases that can benefit from advanced DNA analysis. We work alongside investigators and forensic professionals to ensure resources are applied where they can make the greatest impact.

The purpose of the Kaylee Goncalves Foundation DBA ‘Murder Has a Name’ is to remove financial barriers and ensure that cases can move forward regardless of a family’s ability to pay.

All funds raised are used strictly for foundation purposes, including funding advanced forensic DNA and investigative genetic genealogy (IGG) efforts. No funds are distributed to family members or foundation leadership. All positions are voluntary, ensuring every donation goes directly toward helping bring answers and justice to victims and their families.

No. At no time, including before the foundation was established, have any family members or board members received payment or financial benefit of any kind, including for interviews or appearances. Every dollar is used strictly to support the mission, raise awareness and advance case work.

We are committed to transparency and accountability. Our “Transparency & Financials” page, located in the Insights tab, is regularly updated with information on funding, case progress, and overall impact, so supporters can clearly see how their contributions are being put to work.
