Support Legal Aid at Work

We deliver on the promise of justice for low-income people by providing free direct services on helplines and in clinics; by advocating for legal and policy change; by providing free information and training on employment rights; and by litigating individual, impact, and class actions.

Our success depends on the generosity of law firms, corporations, foundations, the State Bar trust fund, and individuals.

We welcome donations large and small to our annual appeal, annual event, and special campaigns. And we invite you to designate Legal Aid at Work as a cy pres recipient.

    Annual appeal

    Legal Aid at Work’s annual appeal is a primary source of our funding. Here’s a form for gifts and pledges. You can also give by clicking “donate now” above. Learn more about the annual appeal here. See below for other ways to donate to the annual appeal.

    Sponsor our annual event July 11

    Legal Aid at Work holds one signature fundraising event each year to provide essential support for our services.  Join us for our 102nd anniversary celebration!  We anticipate an audience of about 800 people, including attorneys from a wide spectrum of Bay Area and national firms, federal and state judges, public interest leaders and officials, law school professors and social justice activists, and representatives of businesses that serve the legal community.
