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 one of the civil legal aid providers whose great work WisTAF supports.
  3. 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:

  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.
