The human brain is hardwired for generosity. Neuroscience reveals that our mesolimbic system actually lights up when we give. This is the system that forms a key part of the brain’s pleasure circuits and produces dopamine, which makes us feel good. In fact, the act of giving activates this region of the brain even more than receiving. It turns out the old philanthropic adage, “It is better to give than to receive,” is backed by science.

In case you missed it, this October, we celebrated our faithful supporters, sharing stories about our donors, prayer partners, volunteers, and community partners. We would not exist without YOU!

In case you missed it, this September, in advance of our 25th anniversary Justice for All Gala, we featured important supporters who help make our work possible, as well as some of our favorite clients!

In case you missed it, this month, we’ve been taking a close look at the impact and importance of the Legal Clinic's neighborhood roots in our community. Also this month, thanks to the generosity of several families, we've been able to match every contribution up to $25,000! You are making an impact. Not only have we secured our match, but our community has rallied, raising a combined $84,875—and we're still going strong!
