Current fundraising initiatives:
The Richard West Freeman family offered
a 50% matching grant to establish an endowment for The Pro Bono Project.
We raised $10,000 which created a beginning endowment of $15,000 once
matched by the Richard West Freeman Challenge $5,000 grant. Read
more about the Endowment.
The Campaign for
Legal Assistance was launched to increase private charitable giving
by the legal and business communities as well as private donors to New
Orleans Legal Assistance Corporation and The Pro Bono Project.
The Justice For
All Ball, an annual event, is one of the season's hottest tickets.
Great food, music, and prizes make it an event to remember.
