DONATE TO LEGAL AID SOCIETY

Legal Aid Society isn’t just a nonprofit law firm — it’s a community. A Society of people — staff, donors, volunteers, and advocates — united by the belief that justice should never depend on one’s income.

When our founders chose the name, Legal Aid Society, they understood something profound: justice is a collective act. They knew that ensuring equal access to justice requires a community that stands up, steps in, and stays engaged.

Today, we carry that vision forward — and we invite you to join us.

Become a Member of Legal Aid Society and stand with us in making justice for all more than a promise, make it a practice.

AS A MEMBER OF LEGAL AID SOCIETY, YOU’LL RECEIVE:

  • The personal fulfillment of knowing your membership makes a tangible difference for families and individuals in crisis.

  • A biannual newsletter sharing inspiring client stories and program highlights that demonstrate your impact.

  • An invitation to join our Justice Unbound Book Club, plus 20% off book club selections from Carmichael’s Bookstore.

  • Access to free CLEs offered throughout the year.

  • Recognition in our Annual Report among fellow members of the Society.

  • The official Society Membership Pin — wear it with pride as a symbol of your commitment to justice.

THIS YEAR, WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO STAND WITH LEGAL AID SOCIETY, YOU’LL ALSO RECEIVE:

  • Your name listed on our Stand with Legal Aid webpage (updated weekly for those who opt in).

  • An “I Stand with Legal Aid” decal to display at your office or on your laptop.

  • A digital badge to share on social media — showing your professional and personal commitment to access to justice.

YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

When most people think of the justice system, they imagine courtrooms, laws, and legal jargon. But at the Legal Aid Society, we see something more: the faces of real Kentuckians.
