The PILP Auction raises funds to support the Summer Stipend Program and Loan Repayment Assistance Program. The Auction brings together the Portland legal community, to see that the important work of our host organizations gets done and to foster the next generation of public interest lawyers. Since its inception, the organization has helped 260 students finance legal public interest work at no cost to their employers – a total of more than 100,000 hours of legal work by PILP stipend recipients.
