Home Court

Since 1988, Members of Congress have tipped-off against the faculty and administration of the Georgetown University Law Center (GULC) in a fiercely competitive charity basketball game, organized by the GULC Law Students, to benefit the Legal Clinic. Featuring the bi-partisan, bi-cameral Hill’s Angels and GULC’s Hoya Lawyas, Home Court has become the centerpiece of the Legal Clinic’s annual appeal for financial support, with law firms and individual donors generously sponsoring the event. No matter the final score, the Legal Clinic’s clients are the ultimate victors!

Cy Pres

Because the Legal Clinic assists low- and no-income clients on such a broad range of issues, there are many instances in which we would be an appropriate recipient of cy pres funds. While the judge ultimately will decide whether a cy pres award is fair and reasonable and who the appropriate recipients of that award will be, we urge counsel to consider recommending the Legal Clinic as a beneficiary. For more information, contact the Legal Clinic’s director, Amber Harding.

Assets and Donor-Advised Funds

The Legal Clinic welcomes gifts of stock, and contributions made through donor-advised funds. Your financial advisor can discuss with you the favorable tax benefits of gifting stock or giving through a donor-advised fund to a charitable organization. Please ask your broker or agent to contact our Finance and Administration Manager at 202-328-5511 for DTC information.

Leaving a Legacy of Housing Justice

While we hold tight to our hope that one day, no one will have to endure homelessness, we know that day is far off. Planned gifts are a special way to ensure that the Legal Clinic can remain present to our clients well into the future, until everyone has a place to call home. Bequests, insurance policies, charitable trusts and other estate planning charitable gifts can provide substantial estate-tax benefits to the donor while helping us to continue our vital work.

If you wish to learn more about planned gifts or details regarding how to make a legacy donation to the Legal Clinic, please contact your financial advisor.
