ISLP is an independent and non-partisan 501(c)(3) with a Candid Platinum rating for Transparency. The non-deductible portion of each ticket is $50. Many employers will match donations and event ticket purchases, allowing you to multiply the impact of your support.
The International Senior Lawyers Project 25th Anniversary Gala will celebrate ISLP’s quarter-century as a unique force-multiplier advancing global development, human rights, and the rule of law.
Your participation is vital to sustain our impact today and fortify ISLP for the future.
Working in trusted collaboration with governments, civil society, and social entrepreneurs around the world, ISLP aims to facilitate just, accountable, and sustainable global economic growth that benefits all. We cultivate partnerships across sectors, mobilizing pro bono legal expertise where it is needed most. For our clients and partners, we facilitate top-tier legal support that is otherwise inaccessible. For our volunteers, we provide unique pro bono opportunities that draw directly upon practice experience to make important and practical contributions. For our funding partners, our model delivers exceptional value and outsized impact.
Our politically neutral work is more vital than ever to meet the demands of our time – and we need your support.
We hope you will join us for this celebration!
Our 25th Anniversary Gala will bring together leaders from the legal and corporate communities, valued partners, volunteers, and supporters. We look forward to an inspiring evening that includes a cocktail reception, silent auction, seated dinner, entertainment, and remarks from noted thought leaders.
ISLP is thrilled to welcome legendary NBC News journalist Andrea Mitchell as our keynote speaker for the 25th Anniversary Gala. Now NBC News’ Chief Washington and Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent, Mitchell has reported on the events that shape our world for more than four decades. She is widely recognized for a lifetime of achievement in the media and her contributions to protection of First Amendment freedoms.
