Give NOLA Day on May 4th

Each day presents new challenges for all of us, but The Pro Bono Project's staff and volunteers are ready to address our community's legal needs. For over thirty-five years, the heart and soul of The Project has been the unwavering commitment of the legal community. Together we ensure access to justice for all during these challenging times.

This was demonstrated beautifully during this year’s Give NOLA Day. Our volunteers and supported stood up for those vulnerable in our community and who are in need of civil legal assistance. “At a time when there is so much need, the residents of Greater New Orleans have once again risen to the occasion and show their extraordinary generosity,” Greater New Orleans Foundation President & CEO Andy Kopplin said.

In addition to a $500 lagniappe prize, The Pro Bono Project raised $13,370 from 93 donors. This is the second highest total The Project has earned since Give NOLA Day began in 2014.
