$5,000 Challenge

The D.C. Bar Foundation, one of LSIC's generous and loyal supporters, has once again offered LSIC a generous $5,000 matching grant. Last year, the offer inspired LSIC to develop the Beat Back Homelessness Challenge, a goal we surpassed by November 2011, 2 months after its announcement!

After raising $5,000 in new or increased donations by May 1, 2012, the D.C. Bar Foundation will award LSIC an additional $5,000 to help us continue the work we do. Please consider making a new donation or increasing your donation from last year to help us meet this challenge by supporting our various fundraising campaigns. Help us meet our $5,000 challenge grant by May 1, 2012. We need your support! To learn what you donated in FY 10-11, please contact Flordelisa Perez Dolan at 202-638-4798 or at fperezdolan at dclawstudents.org.
