HOLLYWOOD, FL, March 02, 2011 (Press-News.org) Over 700 legal professionals and law students joined Lawyers Project on Friday, February 11th for its soft launch at The W Hotel South Beach. Guests donated $25 at the door and participated in an evening filled with charitable conversations and cocktails, sponsored by Stoli Vodka. The buzz in the air was less about law and more about how to become involved with projects relating to nonprofits and other deserving causes.
"The real purpose for the soft launch was to get people talking and to let them know that Lawyers Project will be unique from any organization they have ever worked with before," says Founder Craig Dell. Lawyers Project is a groundbreaking nonprofit originated within the legal community, striving to unite fiscally responsible charitable causes with philanthropists. "My vision for Lawyers Project is to provide an online fundraising platform (which is currently under development and launching in late Spring) where members can choose from numerous deserving causes to donate their time and money to and see the fruits of their labor by receiving reports on the impact made from the charities themselves," says Craig. Additionally, he hopes to bring donors to the front-line of the cause and eliminate inefficiencies that currently paralyze other nonprofits burdened by excessive overhead and the inability to execute their charitable purpose. This overall facet, a key factor to why Lawyers Project was originally created, will allow donors to see where their money is going and how exactly it will be utilized.
"Everyone has the giving back gene but they don't necessarily know how to use it or have the time," says Craig. He continues to explain how Lawyers Project is different from other nonprofits: "We're not going to take money and disburse it first to administrative costs and then hope it eventually reaches the charity it was intended for." Instead Lawyers Project will offer numerous low-cost, high-impact global causes - ranging anywhere from public health, education, environment, arts & culture and empowerment issues - to its members and put them in the hands of the donors to choose how their impact is made.
David Podein from Always Keep Pedaling Foundation, a nonprofit providing young adults assistance with adventure sports after recovering from invasive cancer treatments, attended the event. "We really believe The Lawyers Project will be able help our cause reach a donor base we may never have had exposure to," says David.
This kind of connecting is only the beginning for Lawyers Project. They are looking to be the meeting place for legal professionals and philanthropies - both online and face-to-face. Individuals looking to get more involved can offer their professional services, connect with other members on all social media levels and be invited to upcoming events. Lawyers Project is focused on better serving the community and aims to help each individual find a cause they can relate with, give back to and ultimately feel fulfilled in the process.
Proceeds from the event benefited the following Law Schools: University of Miami School of Law, Florida International University College of Law and St. Thomas University School of Law. Additionally, funds will also benefit The Lawyers Project Fund, created to offset the organization's operating costs and allowing them to ensure that 100% of online donations go straight to the charities.
Lawyers Project is nonprofit organization originated within the legal community aiming to serve as a global, philanthropic exchange by offering both an online fundraising program and face-to-face events for its members.
