Today is #GivingTuesday - a day dedicated to uplifting nonprofit organizations across the world!!

Today, you can support our work.
This past year, Summit Legal Aid's case numbers increased by 12.5% across our 10-county region, indicating that the need for civil legal help is rising.

While demand for our services continues to rise, our funding faces uncertainty, which could have real consequences. When people cannot access legal help, the ripple effects deepen poverty, destabilize families, and strain entire communities.

Today, your gift matters more.
With your support, we can ensure that our most vulnerable neighbors get the essential legal help that they need.
