We are currently searching for a Yale Law Firm Challenge representative from your firm! If you are interested in encouraging your colleagues to make annual gifts to Yale Law School, we hope you’ll consider volunteering. As a Yale Law Firm volunteer you will receive regular progress updates, invitations to regional Yale Law School events, and strategies to facilitate peer-to-peer solicitations.

The Law Firm Challenge promotes unrestricted support of Yale Law School by alumni at leading firms. At the conclusion of each fundraising year, annual giving results are published online according to the number of Yale Law School alumni employed by each firm. Law firms with the highest alumni participation rates and greatest annual dollars raised receive recognition in the Annual Report of Giving and the firm names are prominently displayed in the Career Development Office.

By participating in the Law Firm Challenge, alumni provide budget-supporting resources which directly impact the quality of legal education at Yale Law School. Your annual gift helps preserve the character, intimacy, and excellence of the Yale Law School experience while demonstrating your personal commitment and professional gratitude. One can earmark one’s gift in support of the following areas: Unrestricted Current Use, Financial Aid/COAP, Clinical Programs, Library Collections, Teaching and Research.

The Law Firm Challenge provides an opportunity for alumni to make a difference collectively to Yale Law School and (through matching gift programs) on behalf of their law firm. In addition to helping build a stronger alumni network, participation in the Law Firm Challenge signals alumni satisfaction with the School’s professional excellence and stature in the legal community.

To volunteer as a Yale Law Firm Challenge representative on behalf of your firm or to request additional information about this program, please contact Eric Stoddard, Director of Annual Giving Programs at (203) 432-6082.
