Annual Report: A Great 2017 for Students, Hoosiers Thanks to You!
|
Thanks to you, the
2017 annual report from the Foundation shows great progress on many projects. From civic education to civil legal aid, our volunteers and donors can be proud. The Foundation made $1.5 million in grants to legal aid nonprofits and led efforts to re-define how legal aid is delivered in Indiana. High School Mock Trial and
We the People: the Citizen and the Constitution expanded even further last year, and Mock Trial will have a $1.6 million impact in one community. Your donations and volunteer time were the catalysts for the progress. Thank you!

You make it possible with your annual donations that serve these youth, as well as those in High School Mock Trial. Renew your support for the rule of law with an unrestricted donation of $1,000 or more to ensure Hoosier youth learn how to engage with their peers and adults civilly. Find more about the Keystone Society and what your donation will do here. You do not have to be an attorney to help these students succeed.

Deferred or Real Estate Donations Help Even More
|
When you think of deferred giving, do you think about the value a stock or real estate donation might bring to the mission you care about? Have you considered how donating an asset could help further your goals for the legal profession? Donating material items could help you establish an endowment at the Foundation that furthers your goals and helps the colleagues who have meant so much to you. Who have helped you make not just a living but make the world better by promoting civic values, civility in the profession, and charitable acts for those who cannot afford a private attorney.
