Cy Pres Awards: Cy Pres Awards are residual funds in class action cases (and occasionally in other types of proceedings like bankruptcy and probate matters) that, for any number of reasons, are unclaimed or cannot be distributed to the class members or beneficiaries who were the intended recipients. California Code of Civil Procedure Section 384 governs Cy Pres Awards in California and provides that Foundations such as CLF are eligible to be named.
Facebook Campaigns: Facebook “birthday” campaign fundraisers are a great way to raise money for the Foundation. New to this way of raising money? Here is a link for more information. The California Lawyers Foundation is already set up on Facebook to transmit the results of your fundraiser directly to the CLF.
