Giving to Legal Aid of the Bluegrass is an investment in your community

Hands together

Making decisions about giving is hard.

If you donate to other organizations, you likely know what your gift will do. A $100 gift will pay for 4 meals for an elderly person, a $50 donation to  will pay for medicine for an animal, or a $25 donation can buy a pair of shoes for a student. 

Legal Aid is not like that. 

Your gift to Legal Aid is an investment in your community. It bolsters our ability to ensure fairness, protect families, and change lives. 

By becoming a Legal Aid of the Bluegrass donor today with just $10, $25, or $50 a month is critical to saving these families from potential homelessness, loss of employment, health benefits, or even potentially save a life from domestic violence.

Your gift allows us to: 

  • Extend our hours 
  • Increase funding by offering federal match dollars 
  • Grow our staff
  • Meet emerging legal needs

Your membership will not only change the lives of our friends and neighbors but will insure that we will be here into the future, saving many lives.
