Washington Council of Lawyers is DC’s only voluntary bar association dedicated exclusively to promoting pro bono and public interest legal work in DC. We are seeking donations of items and gift certificates for prizes for an auction to support the organization during our Justice Impact Awards Ceremony in December. Your donation can be a great way to bring new guests to you, while also demonstrating your support for our mission of increasing access to justice.  

Washington Council of Lawyers provides support, training, and assistance to legal services organizations and attorneys providing pro bono legal services to the poor. Our members are affiliated with law firms (large and small), government agencies, public interest organizations, and law schools. Our programs help them serve clients who are facing legal issues that impact the most fundamental needs: eviction assistance and adequate housing, personal safety, fair wages, and basic civil liberties. So many in our community desperately need legal help but are unable to afford a lawyer. 

We cannot do it without your help, so we ask that you consider making an in-kind donation to our auction. Washington Council of Lawyers is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and donations are tax-deductible. We will acknowledge your contribution at the Justice Impact Awards Ceremony and on our website. And everyone participating in the auction will be glad to know you support the Washington Council of Lawyers!
