About Us

Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid advocates for the legal rights of disadvantaged people to have safe, healthy, and independent lives in strong communities.

We are committed to helping those who need us most by:

• Advocating for systemic change.
• Collaborating with community organizations.
• Meeting clients where they are.
• Addressing the detrimental impacts of racism.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

• We rely on donations.
• We rely on legislative funding.
• We rely on grants from foundations, corporations, federal, state, county and city governments.
• We do not accept Legal Services Corporation funding, allowing us to:
  • Take on class action lawsuits.
  • Represent our noncitizen neighbors.
  • Pursue legal and policy changes at the state legislature.
