Corporate Counsel Challenge Community Fund 2026

ALL DONATIONS MADE THIS PAGE WILL BE MATCHED DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR by the Colorado Foundation for a Better Earth. You Help Keep Justice Within Reach and DOUBLE your impact.

Introducing the Corporate Counsel Community Fund

A New Initiative of the Legal Aid Foundation’s Corporate Counsel Challenge

2026 marks a milestone year.

For the first time ever, the Legal Aid Foundation’s Associates Campaign is expanding to include in-house counsel attorneys in this powerful movement for access to justice.

And we couldn’t be more excited.

The Legal Aid Foundation’s Associates Campaign is a longstanding philanthropic tradition within our legal community. When legal professionals give collectively, participation grows year after year. It becomes part of professional identity. It becomes expected. It becomes culture.

By including in-house counsel for the first time, 2026 is a founding year.

You are not joining something established.
You are helping build it.

Give to the Corporate Counsel Challenge Community Fund 

The Corporate Counsel Challenge invites in-house attorneys and supporters to stand together in advancing access to justice across Colorado. This is more than participation in a campaign — it’s an opportunity to shape a new tradition within the in-house legal community.

Because when in-house attorneys lead, others follow.

Double Your Impact in 2026

Even more exciting:

The Colorado Foundation for a Better Earth has pledged a 100% match of all donations made to the Corporate Counsel Challenge.

That means every dollar you give is doubled.

• A $100 gift becomes $200.
• A $500 gift becomes $1,000.
• Your impact goes twice as far in supporting critical legal services for families who otherwise would face the legal system alone.

Matching gifts are one of the most powerful drivers of philanthropic impact — because they transform generosity into momentum. This is your moment to leverage that power.

Participation Is Simple

You do not need to formally sign up your corporation to participate.

Any donor who gives through the Corporate Counsel Challenge page Community Fund page between March 1st and 31st can simply designate their corporate affiliation.

That’s it.

Your corporation will automatically be recognized based on the number of affiliated donors.

No administrative lift.
No complex sign-up.
Just meaningful participation.

And anyone can give, not just corporate attorneys. Staff and supporters company-wide can participate, as well as friends and family. This is about corporate legal leadership. 

Corporate Recognition Categories

At the Campaign Celebration, corporations with affiliated donors will be recognized as:

Access to Justice Partners, 1–5 Donors
Advocates for Access, 5-15 Donors
Pillars of Justice, 15 + Donors 

These tiers aren’t just labels — they signal leadership. They reflect a company culture that values justice, fairness, and community impact.

And because participation is based on number of donors (not gift size), everyone can contribute to moving their corporation up a level. Every voice counts.
