STAFF
This year's donor recognition tiers are based on the gift amount divided by the number of attorneys in the firm's DC office, creating a more equitable recognition system for firms of all sizes. We are excited to announce the following new tiers for Call to Action:
Change-Makers (Firms who give $100 or more per DC office attorney)
Visionaries (Firms who give $75 - $99 per DC Office attorney)
Network Builders (Firms who give $50 - $74 per DC Office attorney)
Ambassadors (Firms who give $25 - $49 per DC Office attorney)
Friends (Firms who give up to $25 per DC Office Attorney)
We hope our adjusted tier recognition system will allow DC-area law firms to expand their generosity to reflect their footprints within the District's legal community more accurately. Though our ask amounts vary by firm, we invite all firms to support the District's civil legal aid network with a donation of at least $50 per DC office attorney.
For more information, please contact Daryl Byler, Director of Development, at byler@dcbarfoundation.org or 202-853-9025. Donations can easily be made online or by mail using our printable donation form.
