Access to Justice Campaign

Legal Aid of North Carolina

The Access to Justice Campaign is an annual fundraising drive (November-May) 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 provides a base of discretionary funds that can help weather the loss of funds from one or more other sources in any given year. More importantly, as it grows, it will become a major source of dependable, continuing support.

Your donations to the Access to Justice Campaign are needed.
Thirty-five percent (35%) of all North Carolinians, 2.9 million, are now eligible for LANC's legal services.  Currently less than one percent (1%) of LANC's operating budget comes from individuals and/or corporate contributions. Your donations to the Access to Justice Campaign will allow Legal Aid of North Carolina to maintain and increase its capacity to serve more of our community's low-income families and individuals.
