Impact

Assessments conducted in Delaware community health centers show an overwhelming need for civil legal services in the areas of housing, employment, food security, public benefits, children’s safety, education, disability services, and health insurance.

110,000+

Delawareans live below the federal poverty level.

55 Attorneys

are available in Delaware to serve those individuals.

80-90%

of low-income Delawareans experience a civil legal issue each year.

The Combined Campaign for Justice (CCJ) raises funds each year to provide operating support for Delaware’s 3 civil legal aid organizations:

“Our world is not perfect, and unfortunately, there are always people who will need our help. I donate funds and time to the Combined Campaign for Justice as one important way to make a positive difference in the lives of those who live in our community.”

― Patricia S. Rogowski, Esq. | Rogowski Law LLC

In 2021, CCJ raised $1,540,000 to help these organizations serve…

“The Combined Campaign for Justice is one of the most vital and impactful fundraising endeavors that we have in Delaware. It truly changes lives. CCJ supports Delaware’s legal aid agencies to ensure that every voice has a chance to be heard, not just those that can afford to hire an attorney.”

― Yvonne Saville, Esq. | Weiss, Saville, and Houser, P.A.

Civil Legal Aid Helps Everyone

Not only does civil legal aid inject dollars directly into the Delaware economy — for every dollar invested in civil legal aid, a dollar in federal money is brought into Delaware — it also saves money for the government, businesses, and other nonprofits.

$149.2 million

estimated return from an original $18.1 million in funding.

$7.23

economic benefit for every $1 invested in civil legal aid.

723%

positive social return on investments in civil legal aid in Delaware alone!

“Why do I support the Combined Campaign for Justice? Because it works.  Every dollar given results in real, direct and quantifiable benefits to the community and to the people that DVLS, CLASI, and LCSD can represent as a result of CCJ.”

— Arthur R. Bookout, Esq. | Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP

Support Our Mission
