Per Attorney

For decades, law firms measured their donations by the number of lawyers
in their local office multiplied by a standard blended hourly rate — referred
to as per attorney giving. We are grateful to these firms, as their support has
been foundational to our ability to serve low-paid workers and marginalized
communities. We are proud to recognize these firms that honored this
tradition through their gifts to the 2025 Annual Fund.
