Northwest Advocacy Foundation’s Fall Fundraiser

Next month, Northwest Advocacy Foundation will once again be hosting its annual fundraiser. This fundraiser, which coincides with Domestic Violence Awareness Month, is critical in enabling us to continue providing legal services to victims and survivors of domestic violence. Devastatingly, domestic violence in the United States has been on the rise since the COVID-19 public health crisis hit nearly seven months ago. Access to justice has long been a problem for low- to moderate-income individuals, and the pandemic has only exacerbated that fact. While we have had to adjust our operations, we are proud to report that we have remained fully operational and available to assist these folks who so desperately need it.

Beginning on October 1, 2020, we’ll be asking you to make a donation to our legal services program. Your donation will allow us to continue:

offering legal advice to survivors who are in abusive relationships but want to find a way out;
advocating on behalf of survivors in court to secure protection orders; and
representing survivors in court to secure protective parenting plans for their children.

To give you an idea of how specifically your donation may make an impact:

$100 provides a low- to moderate-income individual with a 60-minute consultation with an attorney
$250 provides a client with zealous legal representation in a court hearing
$500 provides a survivor with a temporary order of protection
$1,000 provides a client with legal representation and advocacy in court-ordered mediation

The numbers above are for illustrative purposes, and do not guarantee that your donation of a specified amount will be used in whole or in part for the corresponding example. Any donation, regardless of size, is greatly needed and appreciated, and will ensure that folks in our community have access to the legal services that they need.
