How to contribute

CISC relies on foundation grants, and donations and gifts from individuals to support our fellows, operations, and programs. The ongoing support we receive from grantors and donors makes it possible for us to support the LLAW Fellows and offer a wide range of projects, programs, research, and events. 

These resources also make it possible for us to share this work with the Columbia University community, our extended networks of advocacy and grassroots organizations, and the greater public. 

If you would like to learn more about how to contribute to LLAW, please contact Susan Sturm, [email protected]. If you would like to donate online, please follow the instructions below.
