Giving to LSNF

LSNF is grateful for the many local and national governmental entities, agencies and grantors who have embraced our mission of justice through their financial support of our work. Individuals who support LSNF invest based on our collective fundamental belief in the importance of access to justice.
There are various ways to make a lasting impact on the lives of impoverished Floridians in need of legal assistance. LSNF donors invest in many ways for many reasons but ultimately each gift allows LSNF to continue its mission to help low-income people resolve legal problems affecting their basic human needs and meet our commitment to securing justice, promoting economic and family stability, and reducing poverty in our community. LSNF appreciates the investment of the following individuals, law firms and businesses. Your personal gift in support of LSNF can be designated to help support providing legal services throughout North Florida in a variety of ways.
