Children’s Law Center is only possible due to the generosity and passion of all of the wonderful people and organizations that support us.

Donors

CLC is not funded by any governmental agency and relies solely on donations and grants. Thank you to all of our donors and grantors for making CLC possible.

 Attorneys

In 2007, 43 lawyers from seven Winston-Salem law firms volunteered over 200 pro bono hours for CLC.

Volunteers

In addition, 16 individuals volunteered over 300 hours in 2007 to support the CLC staff and pro bono attorneys.
