This Campaign—organized, led, and driven by associates across the city—aims to raise much needed funds for the Legal Aid Society of the District of Columbia, D.C.’s oldest and largest non-profit civil legal services organization.  While the Campaign is organized by associates, contributions are happily accepted from everybody connected with a law firm in the city or from anyone else.

The District is enjoying a strong economy that has not translated to those living in poverty.  Legal Aid’s clients—low-income individuals living in D.C.—are still struggling to make ends meet while confronted with issues such as trying to get heat restored in their homes in the winter, escaping domestic violence, facing abusive debt collection practices, and securing much-needed unemployment benefits.  It is more critical than ever to ensure that Legal Aid can be there to provide legal services to clients in those life-altering situations.  Bolstered by last year’s incredible Campaign, the Co-Chairs for the 2019 Generous Associates Campaign have decided to make this year’s goal $2,300,000.  We hope you will join with us in this important effort to continue making justice real for those who need Legal Aid the most.
