“The lawyer exceeded my expectations… She met me where I was at.”

“She was compassionate and informative — an angel.”

“I was truly impressed by his outstanding service.”

These are the voices of people helped by volunteer lawyers, made possible by supporters like you.

We’ve raised $4,247 toward our $10,000 goal, and every gift before year-end is matched dollar-for-dollar by Blakes and Norton Rose Fulbright.

Help us reach our goal by donating today!

It’s Giving Tuesday!

Today, your gift to Access Pro Bono goes twice as far to help British Columbians with urgent legal needs.

We’re grateful to Blakes and Norton Rose Fulbright for teaming up again this year with a tiered donation match:

🔹 Blakes will match the first $5,000 donated
🔹 Norton Rose Fulbright will match the next $5,000

That means every dollar you give today helps us support more people who can’t afford legal help, like the client who recently told us:

“I couldn’t sleep until I met with one of your volunteer lawyers… I can’t even begin to tell you how much better and relieved I felt. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Help us reach our $20,000 goal and ensure nobody faces their legal challenges alone.

Donate today and double your impact.
