About Founders' Day
In late spring, 1905, 16 people signed on to the articles of incorporation, formally establishing The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland to “render legal assistance gratuitously to deserving persons not otherwise able to obtain the services of competent attorneys.” At the close of Legal Aid’s first year, the organization helped 456 people. Today – 120 years later – our full-time staff and roster of volunteers help more than 25,000 people annually protect their homes, health, safety, and livelihoods. Legal Aid supporters continue the legacy began in 1905, and Founders' Day recognizes the diverse community who invest in Legal Aid's continued work to extend justice.
