Northwest Advocacy Foundation’s Fall Fundraiser
Starting tomorrow, Northwest Advocacy Foundation will once again be hosting our 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. This is always the case, but, as we mentioned last year, one of the many horrifying things that COVID has given us is an increase in domestic violence. Access to justice has long been a problem for low- to moderate-income individuals, and the pandemic has only exacerbated that fact.
Beginning on October 1, 2021, for two weeks, 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.
