How You Can Help

The Legal Rights Center is very grateful for the numerous donations of time, equipment and money we receive every year from corporations, foundations, law firms and many, many ordinary people who wish to support our work. These donations allow us to continue our ongoing efforts to represent low-income people and people of color in the criminal and juvenile justice, and restorative justice systems of Hennepin County. Without these generous donations of resources and time, we could not exist.

Donations

If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to help us, there are a number of possible ways.

Monetary donations

Your check may be made payable to the Legal Rights Center and mailed to us at 1611 Park Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55404-1683.

Equipment donations

You may donate new or used office equipment, computer equipment, office furniture, supplies, or other material that would be useful to our work. We are sorry, but we have no need for used law books.

In-kind donations

We also appreciate and use the donation of business services, such as printing, instruction and design work. Contact Mark Peterson, LRC Administrator, by e-mail at mpete (at) legalrightscenter.org, or call him at (612) 337-0030 x. 13 to find out whether we can make use of your donated in-kind material or business services.
