The TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund is housed and administered by the National Women’s Law Center Fund, LLC. Funding decisions are made by National Women’s Law Center staff based on set criteria (listed in the funding application form) and independent of considerations of the sources of donations or funding for the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund. The Fund receives more funding applications than it can support and not all applications will be funded, even if those applications meet the set criteria.Â
Thank you for your willingness to represent individuals who have faced workplace sex harassment and related retaliation. We consider attorneys who take on these matters to be critical partners in the fight against sex harassment, and we are excited about the opportunity to support this important work.Â
