This campaign supports the ARA Constitutional Defense Fund, the program through which ARA underwrites the costs of constitutional and civil rights matters it selects for support. The Fund pays attorney’s fees, court costs, expert and transcript expenses, and other legal defense costs in qualifying cases. It also funds the preparation and filing of amicus curiae briefs in cases of constitutional significance, and ARA’s media and public relations efforts, which educate the public about the cases and constitutional principles ARA defends and bring national attention to matters that might otherwise go unnoticed. Cases are evaluated and selected by ARA’s Board of Directors under written program criteria that consider the constitutional issues at stake, the financial need of the individuals involved, and the public significance of the matter. Wherever practicable, ARA pays legal costs directly to defense counsel and vendors.

Your gift to this campaign is a charitable contribution to ARA. It joins with the gifts of thousands of other Americans to form a standing resource that ARA can deploy where the need is greatest and the constitutional stakes are highest, today and in the cases yet to come. Funds raised beyond the needs of any single matter remain in the Constitutional Defense Fund and are applied to other qualifying cases and programs within ARA’s mission.

Tell us what moves you. If a particular case or program inspired your gift, we would love to know. You may share a preference in the donation comment field, or by emailing us after donating at castro@americanrightsalliance.org. Donor preferences are welcomed and are carefully considered by ARA’s Board as it directs the Fund’s resources. Please understand that, consistent with federal tax law, preferences are advisory only: every contribution is made to ARA, and ARA retains exclusive control and full discretion over the use of all funds in furtherance of its charitable mission.

Thank you for standing with us. Constitutional rights belong to everyone, and with your help, ARA will keep defending them.
