All Hands In

Call to Action

By giving generously to the DC Bar Foundation’s annual Call to Action campaign, DC-area law firms and corporations help provide access to justice for District residents who are in desperate need of legal representation but cannot afford it. 

Call to Action 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.

Change-Makers ($100 or more per DC office attorney)

Visionaries ($75 - $99 per DC Office attorney)

Network Builders ($50 - $74 per DC Office attorney)

Ambassadors ($25 - $49 per DC Office attorney)

Friends ($25 per DC Office Attorney)

Our adjusted tier recognition system allows 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.
