Corporate Partner Program

 

Our Corporate Partners commit their financial support and expertise to enable women to take control of their personal situations, improve their children’s lives and build a stronger community for us all.

We are deeply grateful for our Corporate Partners’ annual donations of general operating support and their pro bono contributions which provide critical support for our program. In the last fiscal year, our Corporate Partners donated 25% of our operating income and assisted Her Justice clients in more than half of our legal matters.

  • By leveraging the human talent and resources of private firms, Her Justice increases exponentially the number of women who go to court with their own lawyers and obtain the legal protections they and their children need and deserve.
