Access to Justice Campaign

The Access to Justice Campaign is an annual fundraising drive (November-March) to reach out to the private bar, corporations and the community and seek critical funds for support of our efforts to provide powerful, life-altering solutions to the legal issues that confront poor people in North Carolina.
 

About the Campaign

The Access to Justice Campaign has generated financial support from individuals and law firms, as well as from the North Carolina Bar Association, local bar associations, and leading corporations.  All 20 LANC offices benefit financially from this statewide model...

Campaign Committees

Under the the leadership of co-chairs Cal Adams and Catharine Arrowood, Legal Aid of NC's Statewide Access to Justice Campaign is focusing on raising both funds and building awareness.  Together with the local and regional Campaign teams, LANC and its supporters hope to raise $1,500,000 over the next three years to support the critical legal services our offices provide across North Carolina... 

Campaign Resources

The Campaign staff has developed multiple resources to assist the Campaign teams with communications about Legal Aid of North Carolina...
