Lawyers Campaign For Equal Justice

Education and outreach - educating lawyers and the community about access to justice and how legal services for the poor are delivered in oregon is a key program of the campaign. The campaign educates the community at events, seminars held at law firms and bar association meetings, and through newsletters and publications. The focus is on the barriers low-income oregonians face in accessing civil legal aid.

Other funding initiatives - the campaign seeks to expand resources for legal aid programs through foundation support and state and federal funding. The campaign reaches out to foundations for grant funding and assists with grassroots support for state and federal funding. The accompanying form 990 does not reflect the increases in state and federal funding and foundation support that have resulted from the broader fundraising initiatives and efforts of the campaign and its volunteers on behalf of oregon's legal aid programs. These additional receipts do not flow through the campaign's financial statements and have been recorded directly by the nonprofit organizations benefited.
