Legal help is often the only thing standing between a low-income family’s efforts to see better days, or suffering a fall into deeper poverty.

In everything we do, for everyone in Nebraska: we make equal justice happen.

A successful giving month

Thank you to everyone who donated on a giving day across Nebraska during May! With your help we were able to raise just over $20,000! That total will be matched by an anonymous donor, giving us over $40,000 toward our goal of making equal justice happen for all Nebraskans. Your generosity will help us reach even more people. Thank you!

Check out the photos from our Omaha Gives! event at Turner Park to see a bunch of happy dogs and a good time had by all!
