the community by providing legal information, representation, and training to nonprofits that serve
District residents living on low incomes and small businesses that help D.C. neighborhoods thrive.
We gratefully acknowledge our generous partner organizations and volunteers who made this vital
work possible in 2024. With their help, we delivered pro bono legal services to 256 nonprofits and
