About FUND FOR LEGAL AID

The Fund for Legal Aid is a donor-facing 501(c)(3) fundraising and grantmaking organization that exists to raise money from the legal community in support of Mid‑Minnesota Legal Aid’s civil legal services. The Fund operates as a subordinate/partner entity to Mid‑Minnesota Legal Aid and is used by law firms and attorneys to direct charitable support to Legal Aid programs. In recent years the Fund has continued active fundraising and grantmaking: fiscal year 2024 filings show the organization raised more than $1.4 million and used those resources to support Mid‑Minnesota Legal Aid’s work. Funds raised through the Fund for Legal Aid help sustain Legal Aid’s civil work across areas such as housing, immigration, disability, consumer, and family law, enabling low‑income clients to access representation and legal assistance. The Fund is governed by an all‑volunteer board drawn from the legal community and maintains regular donor-facing activities (including an annual Law Day / legal community fundraising dinner) to engage attorneys, firms, and allied funders on behalf of Mid‑Minnesota Legal Aid.
