Many ways to help

Help our legal systems become more fair, accessible, and equitable by supporting civil legal aid.

You can:

1. Donate to WisTAF.
2. Donate to a civil legal aid provider: here's who WisTAF currently supports.
3. Urge your bank or credit union to participate in our Prime Partner program, or move your banking to an institution that already does.
4. Contact your state legislators: let them know you value civil legal aid and that the state has a role in making sure access to justice isn't only for those who can afford it. Messaging lawmakers is easy at this page from the Civil Legal Aid Alliance of Wisconsin.  

If you're a lawyer, you can:

1. Encourage your firm or organization to do one of the above.
2. Offer your expertise. Many providers that receive WisTAF grants work with private attorneys through pro bono and reduced-rate programs. These programs very often qualify for continuing legal education (CLE) credits through the State Bar.

If you're a lawyer, judge, or mediator involved in a class action:

1. Name WisTAF a recipient of residual (cy pres) funds in the class action lawsuit. (In state courts, this is a statutory requirement for at least 50 percent of such funds.)

Thank you for helping to increase access to justice, safety, and stability in Wisconsin.
