Cy Pres: A Chance to Make a Difference in Your Community

If you are involved in class action matters, please consider making Legal Access Alameda as a recipient of Cy Pres funds. We are a 501c3 that provides free legal assistance to low income self-represented litigants in Alameda County. We are happy to talk with you about crafting an appropriate designation and to help negotiate this with opposing counsel and/or the mediator or judge. ​

By directing Cy Pres funds to Legal Access Alameda, attorneys can contribute to the expansion of legal access, empower marginalized communities, and uphold the principle of equal access to justice. Through collaboration and thoughtful designations, attorneys have the unique opportunity to make a lasting difference beyond individual cases. Choose Legal Access Alameda as your Cy Pres beneficiary and help create a more equitable legal landscape for all.

At Legal Access, we are committed to bridging the justice gap for those in our community who cannot afford an attorney. We strongly believe that a person’s access to justice should not be determined by their income.
