Help us cultivate a lifelong commitment to public interest law. Donations to PILI are an investment in the long-term stability of public interest law and pro bono. Our programs not only help meet immediate legal aid needs, but also provide the building blocks for participants to become leaders in public interest law and in pro bono, expanding and enhancing the availability of quality legal services for people living in poverty both now and into the future.
