Advance Access to Justice through Cy Pres Awards
Pro Bono Institute welcomes cy pres awards to help advance access to justice at a time when it is critically needed. Cy pres awards allow PBI to fulfill its mission of identifying resources for the provision of legal services to the poor, disadvantaged, and other individuals or groups unable to secure legal assistance to address critical problems.
PBI is the only non-profit organization mandated to support, enhance, and transform the pro bono efforts of major law firms, in-house legal departments, and public interest organizations in the U.S. and around the world, reaching millions of individuals and communities in need.
Plaintiff and defense attorneys can recommend PBI as a recipient of cy pres funds. To learn more about how you can support access to justice by recommending PBI as a cy pres award recipient, please contact Danny Reed, Director of Development at 202.729.6691 or dreed@probonoinst.org.
