Call to Action: 72% of the way to our goal

The DC Bar Foundation’s annual Call to Action campaign is underway. So far, 55 firms and companies have generously committed $443,161, placing us 72% of the way toward our $612,000 goal. Can we count on your firm or corporation to close that gap? Firms and companies who pledge or contribute to Call to Action by May 23 will be featured in a full-page thank you ad in Washington Lawyer magazine. 

You can see a complete list of Call to Action donors on our website. 

Your continued support expands the Foundation’s reach in the civil legal aid community, making 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.  

When your workplace supports our campaign, you join others who share your commitment to equal access to justice. 

This campaign would not be possible without the hard work of our volunteer solicitors, who offer their time and expertise to reach out to firms and organizations on the Foundation's behalf to encourage their financial support. Thank you to each of our Volunteer Solicitors for their commitment to Call to Action. 

If your firm or organization has not yet become a leader in our Call to Action campaign, there is still time to contribute. Please join us today by donating online, sending a check to The DC Bar Foundation, 200 Massachusetts Ave., NW, Suite 700, Washington, DC 20001, or contacting Daryl Byler, Director of Development and Communications, at byler@dcbarfoundation.org.
