The GAWL Foundation's mission is to encourage philanthropy by women lawyers in Georgia to benefit the community. It aims to provide easy access to community service for GAWL members and attorneys, support Georgia nonprofits serving women and children, especially in the legal system, and award scholarships to female law students interested in public interest law.
GAWL Foundation grants typically range from $500 to $2000, targeting smaller organizations that would significantly benefit from such funds. The grants focus on organizations that: 1) Provide free legal services to disadvantaged women and girls, 2) Offer free services to them within the legal system, and 3) Provide free services to disadvantaged women and girls in general. Preference is given to organizations whose missions are closely aligned with these priorities, enhancing or furthering the Foundation's mission.
