SOBRATO CHALLENGE GRANT

Legal Aid has received a generous challenge grant from the Sobrato Family Foundation. If Legal Aid can raise $50,000, the Sobrato Family Foundation will match it 2:1. That means that for every 1 dollar you contribute, the Sobrato Family Foundation will contribute 2 dollars. If you are a new donor, a lapsed donor, or would like to give more than you gave last year you will help us raise this $50,000!
