2000 Life Member Class Gift
Donate Now Printable Pledge Form Other Ways to Give
The 2000 Life Member Class Gift, totaling $114,559, was presented to the Institute on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, during a luncheon held in honor of ALI’s new Life and 50-year members. The Class Gift will be used to fund important aspects of the Institute’s mission, including our travel assistance programs, the Early Career Scholars Medal and annual conference, and initiatives to make our work more accessible by providing free public access. To date, more than $2.3 million has been raised by the Class Gift program, now in its fourteenth year, to support these key initiatives.
The American Law Institute celebrates each gift that contributed to the success of this campaign. We deeply appreciate your generosity.
