Lawyers Lend-A-Hand to Youth is proud to announce that it's a recipient of a grant from the Perkins Coie Racial Equality Grant Program, which provides financial support to organizations focused on advancing racial equality through legal representation, policy advocacy, and community-based activities. This is the third year that Lawyers Lend-A-Hand has received this support.

The grant program was devised in 2020 as part of Perkins Coieโ€™s Commitment to Racial Equality following the tragic deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and others. Under the program, Perkins Coie committed to awarding at least $2.5 million in grants over five years to help create a more just and equal society.

Lend-A-Hand will use the funding to implement its dyslexia-friendly reading curriculum. First grader Cruz is pictured here with tutor Chris Pillay of Kirkland & Ellis using the Language Toolkit flashcards that are specifically devised for students with learning differences. The flashcards were purchased with funds from the Perkins Coie grant.
