Join us for the Legal Defense Fund’s (LDF) annual National Equal Justice Awards Dinner (NEJAD)! NEJAD is LDF’s signature gathering – and its only annual fundraising event – bringing together more than 600 leaders in civil rights, law, business, and philanthropy to celebrate those who have made a difference in the fight for racial justice and equality for all. With so much at stake, we hope you can join us in coming together to celebrate civil rights progress and collectively safeguard democracy.

Why become a sponsor

By becoming a NEJAD sponsor, your organization becomes part of a powerful movement to protect civil rights and expand access to equal opportunity. Sponsorship offers more than visibility—it’s an expression of shared values and leadership in the fight for racial justice.

Your support directly sustains LDF’s ongoing litigation, public advocacy, community organizing, research, and public education efforts—ensuring that equity, fairness, and justice remain at the forefront of our national conversation.

See highlights from our 37th annual NEJAD here.
