Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $11,336 spent. Los Abogados prides itself on its long standing relationships with the Latino student organizations at both Arizona law schools, the Chicano Latino Law Student Association, CLLSA, at the Sandra Day OConnor College of Law and the Latino Law Student Association, LLSA, at the James E. Rogers College of Law. In addition to our mentorship program, which pairs attorney mentors with law students in both organizations, Los Abogados routinely donates money to support each groups endeavors. Other funding contributed by Los Abogados is used by the groups to provide their members with scholarships for items such as books and bar exam prep course fees. In addition, Los Abogados provides funding so that CLLSA and LLSA may host social and networking events. Attendance at these events ranges from 10 to over 30 law students and is important for their development and networking. The Pipeline Fellowship program provides a free Kaplan prep course to ten aspiring law students who have shown commitment to service in the Latino community and has resulted in an average 10 point increase in LSAT scores leading to our students' acceptance into prestigious law schools across the country and awarding of numerous scholarships.
