Message from Lewis Tesser
President of the NYCLA Foundation
Dear Friends:
As the holidays approach, the NYCLA Foundation encourages you to contribute to our Second Century Fund. A donation to the Foundation will help NYCLA protect access to justice for all New Yorkers, defend judicial independence, improve our court system, and modernize our beautiful building, the Home of Law, where much of NYCLA's work takes place.
Your dues do not cover all the costs of the programs and services that make us proud to be NYCLA members. We depend on your contributions to support the work that we do to benefit both the profession and the public. The good news is that relatively modest donations can make a big difference to our programs. For example:
- Help provide stipends for minority law students to gain valuable experience through summer internships with state or federal court judges
- Provide opportunities for unemployed lawyers to attend career and networking events
- Fund law-related education programs for New York City public high school students
You can donate in any amount you choose simply by clicking here or by going to www.nycla.org and choosing "Giving to NYCLA." You can also mail a check, payable to the NYCLA Foundation, to the NYCLA Foundation, 14 Vesey Street, New York, NY 10007. We are grateful for every contribution and are pleased to thank you with a selection of gifts described on our website.
Because the NYCLA Foundation is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) organization, gifts are deductible to the extent provided by law.
NYCLA needs your support. Please join me in giving what you can.
Sincerely,
