For over 55 years, NLSP has provided free legal services to DC residents in low-income and under-served neighborhoods and worked to change the structures that keep people vulnerable. NLSP does this by maintaining offices in the communities where our clients live and work, like our Deanwood office located in Northeast DC, so that we too have a stake in transforming those communities.

NLSP has a daunting charge—provide access to justice to low-income DC residents who are facing legal issues that threaten their basic human needs. Most NLSP cases involve housing issues, family stability and the economic security to afford shelter, food, medicine and other basic necessities.  To provide representation for people facing these life changing issues we rely 100% on the support of the entire community.

The holiday season has begun--Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday have brought family and friends into our thoughts and activities--and now it is time for Giving Tuesday.  Every year, on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, people around the world focus on generosity and the impact they can have in making the world a better place. 

This year, NLSP hopes you will make a gift to help us serve those facing legal issues in the DC community. You can donate right now and even better, you can donate and then forward the appeal to your friends and family.

Your support makes a big impact, and this year that impact can be DOUBLED, thanks to a generous grant from the Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation.  The first $5,000 donated to NLSP this holiday season will be matched 1:1 by the Foundation.
