The DC Bar Foundation’s annual Call to Action campaign is now underway. So far, 48 firms and companies have generously committed $387,283, placing us 72% of the way toward our $533,000 goal. Can we count on your firm or corporation to help us reach our goal? You can see a complete list of Call to Action donors on our website.
We thank those who have given to Call to Action consecutively over the years, particularly those who have increased their gift amounts as a result of our new campaign tiers, which create a more equitable recognition system for firms and companies of all sizes. Fifteen firms have increased their gifts by a total of $47,475. Another four firms and companies have given to Call to Action for the first time.
Your continued support expands the Foundation’s reach in the civil legal aid community. It helps make it possible for us to transform DC’s civil legal aid network so that all District residents have a fair and equal legal experience.
Dollars raised through Call to Action support training programs for legal aid lawyers, provide financial support to those same attorneys through our Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP), and bolster the Foundation’s operating grants, which provide critical unrestricted funding to legal aid organizations in DC. These grants help some of our grantees keep the lights on to continue offering life-saving services to residents in need.
