Cy Pres Awards
The Watsonville Law Center is honored to be considered as a recipient of cy pres awards. Cy pres awards allow unclaimed settlement funds from class action lawsuits to be directed to nonprofit organizations whose work advances the interests of the class members. By designating WLC as a cy pres recipient, you help extend justice and equity to low-income individuals and families in California’s Central Coast.
Funds from cy pres awards strengthen our ability to:
- Provide free legal services in the areas of workers’ rights, immigration, civil rights, and economic justice
- Expand outreach to underserved communities
- Build long-term sustainability so that vulnerable community members are never left without a voice or an advocate
If you are an attorney or firm involved in a case with potential cy pres funds, please consider directing them to the Watsonville Law Center. To learn more, contact us at info@wlc.law or call (831) 707-2307.
