Donate Now —- 2024 Year End Appeal
As the year draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on the tremendous impact the Louisiana Bar Foundation (LBF) has made this year. Thanks to our generous supporters, we have been able to make a significant difference in advancing our mission to increase access to justice for everyone, particularly for our state’s most vulnerable populations.
This support has allowed us to increase grant funding to organizations providing direct legal representation of children, in matters ranging from delinquency to access to special education, mental health, and foster care services; organizations engaging in impact litigation and/or systemic legal reform efforts on behalf of children; organizations that provide lay advocacy for children in legal proceedings; and organizations that assist with the administration of justice with respect to children. Every contribution, no matter the size, has played a crucial role in transforming lives and ensuring that justice is not a privilege reserved for a few but a right accessible to all.
Soon, we’ll be busy shopping for holiday gifts, spending time with family and friends, and eating delicious food. While many of us are caught up in celebrations, there are children facing serious legal and personal challenges. These vulnerable and disadvantaged children often find themselves entangled in legal issues through no fault of their own, whether it’s about their care, education, welfare, or housing, many need protection and advocacy, which can be overwhelming without the right support. The LBF supports children’s legal service programs that provide assistance to needy children in areas of law which affect their safety, well-being, and future development.
During the busy holiday season, our personal and professional to-do lists grow increasingly long. Please take the time to reflect on the blessings in your life and consider a tax-deductible gift to the LBF. Make your gift online at 2024 Year End Appeal or mail directly to the LBF at 1615 Poydras Street, Ste. 1000, New Orleans, LA 70112. If you have any questions, please contact our Development Team Bri Foster or Uyen Dinh at 504 561-1046 or Give@raisingthebar.org.
Thank you for your unwavering commitment to justice. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of Louisiana’s children and continue building a more just future for all.
