Our Benefactors

To function as an effective pro bono legal services organization, the Lex Mundi Pro Bono Foundation needs to fund a modest budget to cover programmatic expenses.

Lex Mundi member firms have graciously stepped forward to support the Foundation’s operations. In addition, the member firms McGuireWoods LLP (Virginia), Steptoe & Johnson LLP (District of Columbia), and Alston & Bird LLP (Georgia) have generously donated office space, administrative assistance, and IT assistance to Chloe B. Holderness, the Foundation’s Managing Director; David Roll, Associate Director; and Ben Greer, Vice President.

The Lex Mundi Pro Bono Foundation is grateful for the generous grants provided by the following foundations:

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation
The David and Lucile Packard Foundation
The Shell Foundation

The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
The Lemelson Foundation
