Your Church Can Advance Justice in Jesus’ Name

Administer Justice partners with local churches to provide the help of a lawyer and the hope of God’s love for neighbors in need.

When your church gives, you are helping families find stability, dignity, and hope.

Church giving is more than a donation – it’s a mission partnership.

Give as a Church

Why Churches Partner with Administer Justice

Local churches care deeply about people facing injustice but often lack the legal expertise or capacity needed to help.

Administer Justice fills that gap by combining:

Professional legal advice and coaching

Trauma‑informed care and relational support

A Christ‑centered approach rooted in compassion and truth

Together, we help families move from crisis toward stability.

“Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed.”
Isaiah 1:17

FAQ

Below you'll find answers to questions about supporting Administer Justice.
Have other questions? Contact us.

Is Administer Justice a 501(c)(3) nonprofit?

Can our church give from our missions or benevolence budget?

Are church gifts tax‑deductible?

Will we receive a receipt or acknowledgment for our records?

Can our church set up recurring or annual giving?

What payment methods are available for churches?

Your monthly donation will support the work of Administer Justice by providing consistent funds for our staff to resource churches hosting centers, volunteers training to serve, and further engage churches around the country interested in providing access to justice. Our staff works to ensure established centers are supported, new centers are launched, and partners developed.

Specifically, we have identified that it costs $5,000 to launch a center. This is a one-time fee that provides materials for the center, systems to manage data and scheduling, and liability insurance for our volunteer lawyers to provide advice. After launch, the center is entirely sustainable through the $30 copay that the clients are asked to pay one-time per legal issue. (Follow-up appointments are available free of charge to clients who need additional support or guidance.) Learn more about the $5,000 launch fee.

Can I support my church’s Gospel Justice Center directly?

Yes, if your church has launched or is launching a center, your gift can help clients receive the legal support they need through client copay scholarships.

To give online toward waived or reduced client copays at your center, email hope@administerjustice.org or contact your center’s Justice Champion. To give by check, note the center name on the memo line so your gift is directed there.

All donations are received as non‑restricted and will be put to their best use, but we gladly honor your designation to support clients at that center.

Giving a general gift to Administer Justice strengthens your local center by funding the systems, training, and support that help every center thrive.

Can we include Administer Justice in our annual missions giving or special offerings?

Who should we contact with finance or documentation questions?

Can we receive reports to share with our leadership or congregation?
