Where do the funds go?
All donations help Domestic Abuse Legal Advocacy Center, PSC grow in order to expand its reach to provide pro bono legal service to domestic abuse victims and survivors at shelters our organization collaborates with here in Minnesota. While the services we provide make a difference for victims escaping domestic abuse and we will continue to provide pro bono legal services by volunteer attorneys, there are many additional sensitive and complex legal issues that prevent victims from becoming independent and self-sufficient survivors. As a result, DALAC is looking to raise $500,000 for general operating expenses, including to hire a team of attorneys to provide in-court representation for Harassment Restraining Orders (HROs), legal separation, divorce, child custody, child support, and spousal maintenance that extend past the clients’ residencies at the shelters. Funding DALAC would bridge the gap between quality legal assistance and victims striving for new lives as survivors of domestic violence.
Domestic Abuse Legal Advocacy Center, PSC is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit law firm, and all donations are generally tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. At this time, our organization is funded primarily through donations from individuals and businesses.
