As a private nonprofit organization, the Legal Aid Foundation of Santa Barbara County relies on the goodwill of the community it serves.

Every dollar helps us fulfill our mission to provide high-quality legal services to low-income people, seniors, and victims of domestic violence in times of crisis.

Does your employer offer matching donations? Employee matching gift programs are corporate giving programs in which the company matches donations made by employees to eligible nonprofit organizations. It’s an easy way to double your contribution to us. Contact your employer for details.

Other Ways to Contribute

Cy Pres Awards

Cy pres are funds in class action cases (and sometimes other types of proceedings like probate matters) that, for any number of reasons, cannot be distributed to the class members or beneficiaries who were the intended recipients. Typically, courts can distribute these residual funds to appropriate charitable causes, and Legal Aid and the many organizations it supports are appropriate beneficiaries.
