Support VLA
VLA is deeply grateful to the hundreds of law firms, individuals, foundations, corporations, and government agencies for their extraordinary generosity and support. This year VLA raised over three quarters of a million dollars from our Special Events, Foundation, Government, Law Firm and Corporate Membership programs.
Your continued support ensures VLA is able to continue providing invaluable pro bono legal services, mediation, and educational services to over 10,000 members of New York's vibrant arts community annually.
Over the years, VLA’s activities have been particularly supported by our law firm and corporate members. The list of members as well as the level of law firm and corporate support also continues to grow.
For more information on memberships and how to support VLA, contact us at 212.319.2787 ext 1.
