The Legal Project

Pro Bono Corner
Lisa A. Frisch, Executive Director


We Made the Match!!!!

Due to the wonderful generosity of so many in our community, we were successful in making our $50,000 matching grant from Martin, Harding & Mazzotti, LLP, the Sidney & Beatrice Albert Foundation; the Sherry and Barry Gold Donor Advised Fund of The Community Foundation; and Liza’s Legacy Foundation. Our Winter Appeal is still ongoing for 2008, as we still depend on community donations to help us provide the assistance to victims of abuse in the Capital District. So, if you didn’t get a chance to donate toward the match, please still consider contributing to our Appeal, as every dollar goes toward services in our community. You can even do so online on our website at www.legalproject.org.

A Special Thanks to the Law Firm of Hiscock & Barclay!

We were thrilled with a very generous donation of $5000 from Hiscock and Barclay, LLP toward our matching grant for 2007. It put us over the top for our match and will go a long way to help victims of domestic violence in the Capital District. The firm has also made a commitment to providing increased pro bono services to the civil legal services programs in our area, including The Legal Project, so we are very grateful!

Thanks to All of You Who Contributed to Our 2007 Matching Appeal
