NAPD Fund For Justice: Enhancing Right To Counsel Nationwide
When you support NAPD, you invest in the defenders who fight for the most vulnerable members of our communities — and affirm that the constitutional right to counsel exists in more than name only.
Help Us Reach Every Defender Who Needs NAPD
Through training, advocacy, and a national network of committed professionals, NAPD works every day to strengthen public defense and champion the constitutional right to counsel. We believe that a well-resourced, well-supported public defense community is essential to a just society, and that no defender should be deprived of the tools and training they need over insurmountable member dues or ticket fees.
We are committed to keeping our costs accessible and affordable in every aspect of our offerings, so we can reach every defender who needs our help. But the scope of our work goes far beyond what our dues alone can sustain. We rely on individual donations and corporate sponsorships to bridge the gap — funding new trainings, new innovations, and new tools that keep our community moving forward. Every contribution, at every level, helps ensure that NAPD can continue showing up for the defenders who show up for their clients every single day.
Transforming Advocacy & Reclaiming Justice, One Step At A Time
The core NAPD team is small but mighty, and our vision for this work grows expansively each and every day to meet the needs of our membership. Your funds support every step we take in furthering our mission to transform advocacy and reclaim justice.

Your Support Matters
As an organization run by and for public defenders, we know how to stretch every dollar and make sure it counts. Every contribution goes directly toward the training, advocacy, and resources that support defenders and their clients across the country. We welcome one-time or recurring donations of any size, because every dollar helps us show up stronger for defenders whose clients and communities are counting on their advocacy.
