TIP THE SCALES TOWARDS JUSTICE

Champion social justice in your community by creating your own fundraiser for NYLAG

Champion Social Justice. Fundraise for NYLAG.

For too long, legal systems meant to protect New Yorkers have been failing those who can’t afford an attorney. Without resources and legal knowledge, fighting a case alone is daunting and terrifying.

Everyone, regardless of race, income level, ability, or life circumstance, should be able to stand up for their rights. You can make sure they don’t have to fight alone. 

You can make a difference by starting a fundraiser for NYLAG and rallying your community to support our fight for justice, so all New Yorkers can assert their rights.

HOW IT WORKS

CREATE YOUR DONATION PAGE

Get started by creating your donation page and personalizing it with your photo, why you care about our cause, and your fundraising goal.

SHARE WITH YOUR NETWORK

Make the first donation to your fundraiser to get things going, then invite all of your friends, family, and colleagues to contribute.

DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF OUR NEIGHBORS

By joining, you're tipping the scales towards justice for people whose rights would otherwise be denied if they can't afford an attorney.

Other Ways to Fundraise for NYLAG

There are many ways you can fundraise for NYLAG. Some of the most common are by doing an online fundraiser on sites such as Facebook and GoFundMe. You could also coordinate a small event with your family, friends, and your network at large. Some people find donating their birthday, or an anniversary, is a good way to give back to causes close to them. We encourage you to reach out to us and let us know if you’re planning anything. Contact Nichole Guerra, director of philanthropic partnerships, at nguerra@nylag.org or 212-613-5017.

"Hi, I want to say thank you for helping me with my case. I do not know how to express myself with what you did. Your job is amazing because you help other kids that are immigrants. I love you."
– TOMAS, former client.
“When I urgently needed a home health-aide, I got one because of NYLAG. My life changed and it became secure. I will never stop singing NYLAG’s praises.”
