Volunteers

When Pivot Legal Society began in 2000 there was literally no budget, just a vision of what could be. Volunteers have made it happen.

Tens of thousands of volunteer hours over the course of Pivot’s life have resulted in 10 hours of donated labour for every one paid hour worked.

There are more than 100 talented and compassionate lawyers, writers and other volunteers dedicated to making Pivot's many activities run smoothly and efficiently.

Monthly donors

Pivot's core operations depend almost entirely on its individual supporters. Pivot needs monthly donors to help develop a stable base of monthly income to pay for basic operations, which in turn allow us to support a large number of volunteers.

 

 

Major financial supporters

Pivot also receives funding from private foundations, major donors, government, fundraising events and private sources for specific projects. [more]

Monthly donors have become our partners in a very successful model of volunteer engagement and management, and the value of their contribution is multiplied many times over.

The best way to ensure that Pivot has the resources it needs to carry out its daily activities is by becoming a "Pivot Partner" and donating monthly.

By giving as little as $10 a month, you are becoming an important part of our work, providing Pivot with a steady source of income that it can use to budget for and plan future programs effectively.

Pivot Foundation

The majority of funding for Pivot's activities is managed by the Pivot Foundation.
