The Combined Campaign for Justice (CCJ) is honored to announce our new partnership with the Foxwynd Foundation.
The Foxwynd Foundation DAF funded the Foxwynd Foundation’s generous $150,000 donation to the 2024 Combined Campaign for Justice to launch a fall matching gift campaign in celebration of CCJ’s 25th anniversary: 25Morein2024!
Thanks to our partners at the Foxwynd Foundation, every NEW, RENEWED, or INCREASED donation made to CCJ before 11:59 p.m. on December 20, 2024, will now be matched up to $150,000. Donors can double their impact and help CCJ reach its 2024 fundraising goal of $2.0 million which will result in 25% more direct impact on the lives of legal aid clients.
For 25 years, the CCJ has been raising critical funds for the three civil legal aid agencies in Delaware: Community Legal Aid Society, Inc. (CLASI), Delaware Volunteer Legal Services, Inc. (DVLS), and Legal Services Corporation of Delaware, Inc. (LSCD). These agencies work in partnership to provide free legal representation to as many vulnerable Delawareans in civil legal proceedings as possible. In 2023, these agencies handled nearly 8,000 cases serving 18,000 Delawareans: people who are poor, people with disabilities, older people, veterans, and survivors of domestic violence.
According to Pamela Villagra, Executive Director of the Foxwynd Foundation, “The Bentley family is proud to support the Combined Campaign for Justice. Through this collaboration, we are helping expand access to crucial legal aid services for Delawareans in need. Together, we are committed to ensuring that the voices of vulnerable individuals—those facing domestic violence, poverty, and other hardships—are heard and represented.”
“We are so grateful for the partnership and support from Foxwynd,” says CLASI Executive Director Dan Atkins, “this gift will enable us to help even more people stay housed, fed, and free from domestic violence. We hope this matching campaign will inspire more people to learn about and support the life-changing work we do.”
