EVENT SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

For nearly 30 years, Pro Bono Institute (PBI) has been transforming the pro bono landscape to help expand access to justice for people who most need, but can least afford, legal assistance. PBI is the source for all things pro bono, respected worldwide for its unparalleled depth of knowledge, research, training, and expertise. With your support, we can reduce barriers to the justice system for the most vulnerable people in our communities. Please see below for information about sponsoring the PBI 2025 Annual Conference and the PBI 2025 Annual Dinner.
