Will You Answer Our “Call to Action”?
Equal access to justice not only protects the lives of individuals and families, but also helps build strong communities. Each year through their generous support of our Call to Action initiative, local law firms and businesses give low-income District residents vital access to legal resources. When you give to the Foundation, you help provide a wide range of services – including grants, trainings and technical assistance, and student debt loan repayment – to dozens of legal aid organizations throughout DC. Will you support our mission? Join the Foundation’s Call to Action campaign by donating on our website or filling out our donation form.
