Quarterly News & Updates

Partners in Justice

The Law Center’s fiscal year ended September 30^th of 2021 and we are off to a new reporting year. The map displayed represents our generous private donors who allow us to sleep a bit more soundly at night. Non-profits are like all other businesses in that the last year and half has tested our stamina.

All non-profits rely on keeping a pool of “unrestricted funds” which can be used for the “out of the box” assistance. Our assistance to each client is always unique and requires unique responses. Support from private donors from (almost) all over the U.S., and three from outside the U.S., energizes us internally and leverages our ability to attract other funding. Consider us – every $10.00 helps us continue our work. Can you think of other partners who can assist with filling in our map for this new reporting year?

November is Native American Heritage Month, or as it is commonly referred to, American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month. The Law Center recognizes this month as a time to celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories and to acknowledge the important contributions of Native people.
