I'm feeling frustrated with funding for our legal aid organization this fiscal year. Old and newer funders keep telling me the same: Why would anyone think this is a need?, Why do lawyers need money?, or Why can't you do this all for free? Anyone having the same in the legal aid world? Any ideas you can share in regards to funding? TIA!
