Funding Justice for All
Equal justice under the law is a right, not a privilege. The challenges many New Mexicans face can be addressed through the legal system. With access to justice, families remain secure in their homes, women gain safety from physical and economic abuse, seniors receive life-saving benefits, and children access critical healthcare services. However, systemic inequities lead to barriers to access, denying justice for many New Mexicans. Your contributions help Equal Access to Justice fund organizations that are providing free, essential civil legal services and advocacy for New Mexicans right now. |
Where the Money Goes
Equal Access to Justice provides unrestricted, noncompetitive funds to New Mexico civil legal aid organizations. These funds grant our partners critical flexibility to cover costs excluded by other funding sources, to meet unanticipated needs in the community, or to accept opportunities that arise mid-year.
Our partners include New Mexico Legal Aid, New Mexico Center on Law & Poverty, DNA People’s Legal Services, and other legal aid nonprofits. Their work strives to meet the critical legal needs of New Mexicans, ranging from providing legal information, to direct representation, to systemic advocacy. Collectively, they serve all counties in New Mexico helping over 400,000 low income individuals facing problems that threaten their stability.
These organizations depend on funds from Equal Access to Justice to carry out their missions so critical to helping protect New Mexicans' incomes, health, education, families, and physical safety.

Impact of Legal Aid & Advocacy
Like you, we believe New Mexico is strengthened when everyone has access to the justice system. When New Mexicans cannot afford legal help or systems are failing them, legal aid steps in. Legal aid helps our neighbors understand their options, navigate the process, and stand up for what's fair.
By providing essential legal information, representation, and advocacy, more veterans have a safe place to call home; workers receive the benefits they've earned; domestic violence survivors are protected from their abusers; and families recovering from natural disasters are able to rebuild their lives.
