Become a Partner at the National Law Firm for Liberty

Members of the Institute for Justice’s Partners Club invest $1,000 or more each year in helping IJ fight for individual liberty in courts across the country. We are proud to call these individuals our Partners because it is through their commitment that the Institute is able to pursue its mission and advance a rule of law under which individuals can enjoy the full benefits of freedom.

How Your Donation Helps

  • Your contribution enables us to represent our clients at no cost to them—and to stand with them no matter how long their cases take. And when we win for our clients, we secure precedent that protects the rights of all Americans.
  • IJ receives no money from the government. Our work is powered by nearly 10,000 supporters across the country who believe in the Constitution and the ideals it enshrines. 70% of our funding comes from individuals like you.
  • There is no better investment for defending liberty than IJ. We have litigated more than 300 cases on behalf of more than 1,000 people and turned once obscure issues like civil forfeiture and eminent domain abuse into subjects of national outrage. And IJ is a good steward of donor money, having received Charity Navigator’s top rating 20 years in a row.
