Many ways to help
Help our legal systems become more fair, accessible, and equitable by supporting civil legal aid.
You can:
- Donate to WisTAF.
- Donate to one of the civil legal aid providers whose great work WisTAF supports.
- Urge your bank or credit union to join our Prime Partner program, or move your banking to an institution that already participates.
If you're a lawyer, you can:
- Encourage your firm or organization to do one of the above.
- 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:
- 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.
