Donation FAQs

Q. Does CLA-LA have an organization supporting its work?

CLA-LA is a stand-alone 501(c)(3) organization and does not have a parent legal aid program providing support for the free legal services to very low income residents of Los Angeles County. 

Q. Where does CLA-LA receive funding?

CLA-LA receives approximately 20% of its funding from private foundations (mainly for educational purposes), but relies upon private individual contributions from people like you to provide the funding needed to provide free legal services.  

Q.  How does CLA-LA use its funds?

Contributions cover CLA-LA expenses, most of which consist of employment expenses (salary, payroll taxes and worker’s compensation) for our staff members who serve clients and recruit, equip, and retain volunteers to provide free legal services.  The contributions also go to expenses for office supplies and all materials needed to provide legal services.
