Funders and Supporters
Thank you to every individual, organization, and funder who has supported us in advancing the civil right to counsel since 2003!
Our work wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of the Public Justice Center, our funders and grantors, organizational dues-paying members, and the extraordinary gifts of individual donors.
Public Justice Center
The NCCRC was initially a multi-organizational effort of the Public Justice Center (PJC), the Shriver Center on Poverty Law, the Northwest Justice Project, the Brennan Center for Justice, and the American Bar Association’s Standing Committee of Legal Aid and Indigent Defense. Today, the NCCRC remains a project of the PJC, a public interest law firm based in Baltimore, MD, that uses legal tools to challenge poverty and racial inequity in Maryland and beyond. NCCRC staff members are employees of the PJC, and the NCCRC receives financial support from the PJC. We’re proud to be a PJC project, and grateful for its unwavering commitment to our work over the years!
