Create Your Legacy: Invest in the Next Generation

Every milestone reunion is a moment to look back at where your legal career began, celebrate how far you and your classmates have come, and ensure the door stays open for the legal leaders of tomorrow.

Through Reunion Class Giving, your class can pool its generosity to create a powerful, collective impact. All reunion gifts directly support Lewis & Clark Law School student scholarships, helping relieve financial burdens and empowering future advocates.

How to Organize Your Class Gift Campaign

It only takes one person to inspire an entire class. Lewis & Clark Law School provides all the tools, templates, contact lists, and staff support you need to make outreach simple, fun, and meaningful.

        1. Form Your Committee: Team up with two or three friends from your graduating class to serve as co-captains.
        2. Set Your Target: Review the giving tiers below to decide whether your class wants to target a specific funding milestone or aim for a high participation rate.
        3. Reach Out & Rally: Connect with your old law school circle. A personal message from a classmate is the single biggest reason alumni choose to give back.
