Annual Report of Giving

Thank you for your continued support of Seattle University School of Law. In the last fiscal year from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011, alumni, friends and organizations contributed more than 1,000 gifts totaling more than $1.35 million to the law school. This support assures that the law school continues to fulfill its mission of educating outstanding lawyers who are leaders for a more just and humane world. Gifts and grants funded a variety of initiatives and programs that ensure a rewarding legal education. Just a few examples are:

• With the support of The Norlien Foundation, we are educating legal and social work professionals on the science of brain development so they may be better advocates for their clients;
• A grant from the Open Society Institute bolstered National Voting Rights Advocacy Initiative's work to combat electoral discrimination;
• A gift from Donald and Lynda Horowitz supports the research, advocacy and education work of the Fred T. Korematsu Center for Law and Equality;
• Individual contributions to our Public Interest Law Foundation will provide our students with practical experience while benefiting vital nonprofit organizations;
• Hundreds of alumni and friends provide a stable base of support upon which our students, faculty and programs stand.

We are grateful for your support.
