Generous Associates Campaign: Our Promise, Our Pledge

The annual Generous Associates Campaign of Legal Aid is a fundraising campaign run by associates at Washington, DC law firms city wide. Although contributors to the campaign are comprised of associates, partners, non-lawyers, and the firms themselves, it is a campaign that allows the true generosity of the associates in our community to come through in spectacular fashion. The Generous Associates Campaign allows Legal Aid to continue to provide free legal services to the neediest members of the DC community in the areas of family/domestic violence, housing, public benefits and consumer law.

Last year, the D.C. legal community raised $782,000 on behalf of the Generous Associates Campaign, the highest figure in the Campaign's 22-year history. This year, we have set ourselves a goal of raising $800,000 in honor of Legal Aid’s 80th Anniversary year.  Legal Aid will use the funds raised to further its efforts to make justice real, in individual and systemic ways, for persons living in poverty in D.C.
