Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy has officially paid off our building through the success of our Building Justice Capital Campaign. Even more, our supporters have helped to establish a $1 million Building Justice Endowment—strengthening our ability to serve our community for years to come.

This milestone has been years in the making. Back when our team worked in very tight quarters on Elizabeth Avenue, we began imagining something different: a dignified space where attorneys, paralegals, and clients could come together—reflecting the importance of the work happening inside.

But this campaign was always about more than a building. It marked our evolution—moving beyond being seen only as a charity supported primarily by the legal community and fully claiming our role as a critical community social justice organization for Charlotte. Along the way, we conducted feasibility studies, deepened community engagement, refreshed our brand, and expanded our fundraising capacity—so we could meet this moment with strength.

This campaign was completed with support from more than 200 donors—including 14 six‑figure donors and 41 five‑figure donors. That breadth and depth of generosity doesn’t just fund a building; it signals shared ownership of the mission that happens inside these walls.

From all of us at Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy: we are so grateful to everyone who invested in a permanent home for justice—and for helping ensure justice will continue to live here for a very long time.

Special thanks to Building Justice Capital Campaign co-chairs Porter Durham, Alan Kronovet and Todd Stillerman, along with lead members Kenneth Schorr and Brittney Coleman. Their support built more than just a building. We consider them the architects of a more just Charlotte.

We were thrilled to celebrate all of our capital campaign supporters last week, while also unveiling the new Kenneth Schorr Suite.
