Contributions
The Legal Aid Society strongly encourages attorneys to contribute their time in handling individual cases or participating in projects as their pro bono work. However, Legal Aid welcomes financial contributions too. The monies donated by bar members are a substantial source of revenue for the program and remains one of the three largest sources of revenue, amounting to almost $400,000 annually.
The annual minimum contribution required from members of the Orange County Bar Association who are not able to donate time and skills is $350. The contribution is solicited for a January to December calendar year. The Florida Bar sets as a goal for members the annual contribution of at least 20 hours or $350 to an organized pro bono program. Additional financial donations above the minimum requirements are very much appreciated.
Attorneys who donate time and skills in casework and projects may also provide greater help by making a tax deductible financial donation to the Legal Aid Society. Funding is used to support the many important legal programs and projects offered in our community by the Legal Aid Society.
A copy of the Legal Aid Society’s official registration and financial information may be obtained from the Division of Consumer Services by calling toll free 1-800-HELP-FLA (1-800-435-7352) within the state. Registration does not imply endorsement, approval, or recommendation by the state. The registration number issued to the Legal Aid Society of the Orange County Bar Association, Inc. by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is SC-00396. No professional solicitors have been contracted by our organization. Therefore 100% of your contribution will be received by the Legal Aid Society.
