Dear Friend of the Law Foundation,

The difference you made this year for thousands of people and families in Silicon Valley is immeasurable. With your help, we served more than 11,000 people and impacted 800,000 people as part of our systems change work.

But the people we serve are not just numbers. They’re our neighbors and fellow community members who call this region home. And everyone deserves to feel safe, stable, and secure—whether it relates to housing, education, or health care.

When you choose to support the Law Foundation, you support our mission of ensuring everyone in Silicon Valley has access to justice, regardless of socioeconomic status. This is why your support is critical. When our community members are facing the toughest challenges of their lives, the Law Foundation and its supporters are there to empower them.

Learn more about our work and accomplishments in our 2018-2019 Annual Report.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment and I hope to continue to count on your support.

Here are some of the highlights:

  • In 2018-2019, the Law Foundation reached over 11,000 people and impacted 800,000 people with our systems change efforts.

  • Last year marked a 115% increase in the number of people impacted by our Housing program.

  • Our social workers and attorneys represent 90% of foster youth in Santa Clara County.

  • The Law Foundation secured $546,000 in financial benefits - for basic necessities like food, medicine, and housing - for clients living with a physical or mental health disability.

We are grateful for all you do to support the Law Foundation as we work to advance justice. Together, we are creating long-lasting change for individuals and families in our community and a stronger Silicon­ Valley.

P.S. Support the Law Foundation this upcoming #GivingTuesday! Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn to hear directly from some of our clients and about why we work every day to ensure our community has access to justice.

With gratitude,

Alison Brunner, Esq.
