Legal Aid Center of Southern NevadaAccess to Justice Endowment

Securing the Future of Access to Justice for All

When there is a need in our community, Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada responds. On any given day, Legal Aid Center staff have a stack of new cases on their desks and a lobby full of clients with urgent needs. Over the last ten years, we have taken dramatic steps to help close the justice gap in our community. In 2007, Legal Aid Center staff served 13,544 clients. In 2016, we served 135,108, an increase of 888%. But our work is not done. We must be ready to help those who have nowhere else to turn.

We need to be sustainable, not just now, but for decades to come. Our community will continue to grow and we want to leave a stronger Legal Aid Center for the next generation. On September 13, 2017, we announced the second phase of our long-term growth plan: establishing an endowment fund to allow expansion of our vital existing programs, the addition of new legal specialties, and the creation of a “bridge” for those years when a past funding source may sunset.

Engelstad Family Foundation’s $10,000,000 Challenge Grant

To begin the endowment campaign, the Engelstad Family Foundation generously seeded the Access to Justice Endowment Campaign with a $10,000,000 challenge, the largest single contribution ever given to Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada and towards the cause of equal justice.

• For each dollar raised (up to $5,000,000), the Engelstad Family Foundation will match it $2-for-$1.

• This 200% match will produce a $15,000,000 endowment to assist some of Southern Nevada’s most vulnerable members: abused children, frail seniors, victims of predatory scams, and domestic violence survivors.

• This endowment will provide a stable future for Legal Aid Center, allowing it the flexibility to respond to crisis in the community efficiently and providing a steady stream of income protecting services during turbulent times.

“Just wanted to drop a quick line to let you know

that I still think of the miracle you both helped

create in my life. I want you to know that I will never

forget either one of you and the gift that you gave

to our family. There is nothing on this Earth that

could have been purchased that would come close to

equaling the gift you gave to us. Thank you so very

much and may you both be blessed!”
