Every year Coast to Coast Legal Aid of South Florida provides critical legal assistance to thousands of low-income residents of Broward County who could otherwise not afford it. Still, 85% of those in need of legal assistance go unserved due to a lack of funding and resources. Donations from members and caring individuals in the community play a major role in our work assisting victims of domestic violence, human trafficking, and families and seniors in need of public assistance or facing foreclosure.
Donate securely online – your tax-deductible gift will help Broward County’s underserved communities get the free civil legal services they so desperately need!
For corporate giving, in-kind donations, or donating by mail, please contact mmalone@legalaid.org.

We know that there are never going to be enough lawyers, and we do not have enough money to serve everyone with a legal issue. However, I am working hard to be one of the agents of rapid, effective, and high impact change. I have gained many personal benefits from doing pro bono work, but most importantly, doing this work reminds me why I chose to be a lawyer in the first place. The personal reward gained from donating my time and money far outweighs any amount I could ever give.

Holiday Adopt-a Family
Each year we invite law firms, social groups, and families to become an adopter in our Holiday Adopt A Family project. We identify families who cannot afford a holiday celebration and match them with an adopter. Gifts like electronics, bikes, games, clothes, books, toys, and gift certificates help out families who would not have a holiday celebration without your generosity. For information contact Andres Matiz at amatiz@legalaid.org.

Cy Pres Awards
In class action lawsuits a fund is created for payment of damages. After class members’ claims are paid, there often are residual funds remaining. Under the doctrine of Cy Pres, judges and class counsel can recommend that residual funds be awarded to fund legal service programs. To learn how to nominate CCLA as a Cy Pres Awards recipient, please contact Melisa Malone: 954-736-2470 or mmalone@legalaid.org.
