Making a Difference: Engelstad Family Foundation
To say that the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada, a nonprofit law firm, has a lot on its plate would be a vast understatement. Among other things, the organization provides free legal services to the most underrepresented folks in our community. But they couldn’t do it without the help of generous donors like the Engelstad Family Foundation, who recently announced that they will donate $3.9 million to the center’s $13 million Capital Campaign.
The $13 million will go toward the construction of a much-needed new facility where the center’s attorneys, paralegals and support staff can continue on their noble mission. “Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada provides a lifeline to children in our foster care system, to victims of domestic violence and consumer fraud, and to so many other vulnerable residents of Clark County,” said Kris Engelstad McGarry, trustee of the Engelstad Family Foundation. “We are so pleased to help ensure that this fine organization continues to serve this important role in our community.”
Tack this monumental donation onto a growing list of gifts from Ralph and Betty Engelstad; two truly selfless people who’ve given something more than just monetary help to so many in need–and that is hope. For more information on the center, visit www.lacsn.org.
