2001 Life Member Class Gift

Donate Now        Printable Pledge Form        Other Ways to Give

The 2001 Life Member Class Gift, totaling $119,837, was presented to the Institute on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, during a luncheon held in honor of ALI’s new Life and 50-year members. The Class Gift will be used to fund important aspects of the Institute’s mission, including our travel assistance programs, the Early Career Scholars Medal and annual conference, and initiatives to make our work more accessible by providing free public access. To date, more than $2.4 million has been raised by the Class Gift program, now in its fifteenth year, to support these key initiatives.

The American Law Institute celebrates each gift that contributed to the success of this campaign. We deeply appreciate your generosity.
