The Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles Foundation, a Section 501(c)(3) charitable organization, formed in 1997 to support the next generation of attorneys committed to the mission of WLALA and improve the status of women in the legal profession and community through pro bono endeavors. WLALA Foundation’s programs and projects, include:

• Scholarships: The Foundation’s Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsburg Equality Scholarships support law students with demonstrated commitment to issues affecting women, children, or historically underrepresented groups.
• Fellowships: The Fran Kandel Public Interest Summer Fellowships support law students who develop and implement their own public interest law projects. The Inner City Law Center Fellowships provide financial support to law students working at the ICLC providing pro bono services to homeless veterans, including women.
  • Power Lunch Mentorship: Through the Beverly Reid O’Connell Power Lunch program, judges and lawyers mentor high school students and provide career education to those from historically underrepresented groups in the legal profession.
• Community Partnerships: WLALA provides support and pro bono opportunities through the Harriett Buhai Center for Family Law, the Downtown Women’s Center, and Inner City Law Center.

Since its inception, the Foundation has awarded over half a million dollars to deserving law students.
