The Legal Aid Foundation of Colorado is a non-profit organization based in Denver, CO that raises funds for Colorado Legal Services (CLS), the state's only agency providing free legal services in civil cases to low-income individuals and families across all Colorado counties. CLS served over 26,000 clients in the past year alone, but due to limited resources, many eligible individuals are turned away. With the support of donors, CLS aims to meet the growing demand for legal aid and ensure equal access to justice for all.
Legal aid plays a crucial role in stabilizing families, resolving civil legal problems, and improving economic, health, and social conditions. By addressing legal issues early on, legal aid prevents costly consequences for individuals and society as a whole. With a Social Return on Investment (SROI) of 637 in 2019, every dollar invested in legal aid in Colorado resulted in $6.37 in benefits, making it a highly impactful and valuable investment for communities and individuals.
